Add Jenkins to the growing list of communities dealing with wildland fires. Police Chief Jim Stevens said at least three fires are burning in Jenkins, including a large blaze on Pine Mountain along the Virginia-Kentucky border. What we're looking at right now is the leaves and all the fuel, all the dead leaves and dead branches are laying on the ground. We really don't have too much into the trees. What we're getting is the fuel level that has been there for years. We haven't had a forest fire to burn up all this stuff for so long that it's got a lot of fuel to go. The Jenkins fires, which have been fueled by dry breezy conditions, come as other fires across the region continue to burn. Crews have made progress on the largest of the local fires in the Shelby Valley area and the fire while still burning. The fire is now contained. One part of the progress came in the form of turning the fire away from Parkview Nursing Home by way of the Kentucky Division of Forestry back-setting the approaching fire. The Forestry Service by-law is the only agency allowed to set back burns. But you're still going to burn, there's a lot of unburned areas, it still needs to burn out. But as far as this fire itself, it's contained and right now I'm just waiting for it to burn out. The Jenkins local and state agencies are working to get a grip on the fires there. Chief Stevens said residents near active fires should remain aware of the proximity of the fires to property and structures. In the premier subdivision community of Jenkins, residents monitored a wildfire that was approaching the community throughout the night and into Thursday morning. Well, I couldn't hardly breathe, smoky, pretty hectic at times, so smoke was in here, a lot of people couldn't breathe. Chief Stevens said however that residents should not panic. The best thing people can do right now though is clear around their buildings, their homes, their outbuildings and such. Clear all the dead leaves and stuff away. And remember that unless it gets right up on your house, you're going to be alright. We need to burn this dead, this old dead fuel out of here and that will keep it from getting bigger. If you do have a fire within a couple hundred yards of your house, please contact the fire department and we'll head out there and take care of it. Air drops of water begin on the Pine Mountain fire in Jenkins late Thursday afternoon. Local and state first responders are hoping that rain comes soon to the fire affected areas.
