Great Smoky Mountains National Park officials reported that the wildfire near Chilhowee Lake is now 100% contained. Firefighters removed damaged trees along Highway 129 to reduce roadside hazards for motorists. Parson Branch Road and Highway 129 are both open to all traffic. The perimeter around the 40-acre fire is secure and firefighter resources have been reduced to one Type 6 Engine Crew who will continue to monitor the area.
