Reports on the Gatlinburg, Tennessee fire.
This is a dramatic video of a couple and their dog, who evacuated their home in Chalet Village in what appeared to be a jeep or small truck. Between the 3 and 7 minute segment, you'll notice homes on both sides of the road are engulfed in flames. I'm surprised the tires on their vehicle didn't blow from the heat and fire they were driving through?

29 Nov, 2016 - Firefighters are desperately battling the fire which covers an area of the Great Smoky Mountains located beside the town of Gatlinburg, popular with tourists due to its close proximity to Dollywood theme park.
Arson has been suspected, which has led to an evacuation of residents to a Red Cross shelter at Gatlinburg Community Center and a converted shelter at a local sports facility.
"Nobody is allowed into the city at this time," the National Weather Service Morristown Tennessee tweeted. "Evacuate immediately and follow any instructions from emergency officials."
Some people took to social media to express frustration as to why the fire wasn’t being covered by the mainstream media. If you wonder why people have lost faith in today's media, an entire town is currently on fire and no-one is talking about it,” one tweet read.
Despite rainfall in the area late Monday the fire is still blazing, with 30 structures reported to have caught fire in Gatlinburg, including a 16-story hotel according to Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA).

The worst wildfire to strike Chile in modern history has claimed 10 lives since November 2016, officials say. Over 1,000 buildings have been destroyed by the blaze, and some 6,000 Chileans have been displaced.
Massive Wildfire in Chile Kills Ten, Destroys Entire Town (Photos)
https://sputniknews.com/latam/201701271050091128-chile-wildfire-destruction-death-disaster/
27.01.2017 - The ten dead include three residents, two policemen, and five firefighters. According to reports, three of the 10 died battling blazes on Wednesday, January 25. Firefighters took a moment to mourn one of their own who died on Wednesday helping a family evacuate their burning home.
The blaze has ravaged the town of Santa Olga, virtually destroying the settlement. Most of the destroyed buildings were homes, but the local post office and kindergarten were also engulfed.
The fire is the result of a prolonged drought and record-breaking heat wave, and spread via strong winds. The disaster has destroyed an estimated 680,000 acres (over 1,000 square miles) of forest. Dry vegetation in Chile's verdant central regions burns easily, leading to over 90 uncontained forest fires currently.
"This is an extremely serious situation—of horror, a nightmare without an end," said Carlos Valenzuela, mayor of the nearby city Constitución. "Nobody can imagine what happened in Santa Olga. What we have experienced here is literally like Dante's Inferno."
Chilean president Michelle Bachelet has declared a state of emergency, calling the fire "the greatest forest disaster" in the history of the South American nation. Thousands of firefighters, hundreds of Chilean troops, and dozens of aircraft have been deployed to mitigate the damage, but the fires have raged for two months and are nowhere near defeated.
Bachelete, claiming that Chile has "practically exhausted its capacity to fight the blaze,"is asking for international aid. The US responded by sending a Boeing 747-400 Water Bomber, an airborne firefighting aircraft that can carry almost 20,000 gallons of water or fire retardant. Russia sent an Ilyushin-Il-76 super-tanker aircraft with a 13,000-gallon capacity. Canada, Mexico, France, Portugal, and Colombia have all also provided assistance.
The tireless efforts of Chilean and international firefighters prevented the flames from spreading to Penco, a town of nearly 50,000. But Chile's interior minister Mahmud Aleuy warned that more fires are likely to break out as temperatures and winds remain high while humidity remains low.
The exact cause of the fires remains under investigation. Climate change, poor forest management, improper fire safety, and non-indigenous plant life have all been pointed to as potential causes.

The heatwave that raised air temperatures in Australia to the highest in the history of the continent’s meteorology has led to massive bushfires all across the state of New South Wales.
Hell Unleashed: Australia Battles Bushfires Amid Catastrophic Heatwave
https://sputniknews.com/asia/201702131050607694-australian-bushfires-heatwave-hell-emergency/
Australia is being scorched by a massive "heatwave from hell," as air temperature across the continent spiked to some 45 degrees Celsius, with the highest, 48.5 C, registered in the town of Tarcoola. As Sputnik reported Friday, the Australian fire service announced a nationwide fire ban and bushfire warning. They were right to do so, but they didn't prevent New South Wales from being engulfed in flame.
According to media reports, there are more than 80 out of control bushfires ravaging the state at the moment. The largest of those is some 350 km from Sydney. Firefighters are reportedly going door to door urging residents to evacuate. Thankfully, no loss of life or injury has been reported so far, but there are reports of houses, machinery and other property already lost to fire some 370 km east of Sydney.
The Bureau of Meteorology says the fires that started in the central region and are spreading northeast, producing hot, dry winds that also carry a lot of smoke.
"This will produce widespread severe to catastrophic fire conditions in central and northern districts," the bureau said.
According to NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons, the extremity of fire ratings is "simply off the old conventional scale." He said that current fire conditions are worse than the notorious Black Saturday in 2009, which claimed 173 lives and has been described as one of Australia's worst peacetime disasters.
So far, only three teenagers have called for help from first responders. Despite the heat, they had apparently departed on a walking trip to Marramarra National Park, but ran out of water too fast. They were picked up suffering from heat exposure, but nothing worse. First responders are imploring people to stay out of national parks and woods and generally stay indoors to avoid heat stroke.
As Sputnik reported previously, the residents of Australian cities are urged to switch off all electric appliances when not in use and set their air conditioning systems to the highest temperature setting to reduce energy consumption to prevent blackouts. The beaches in urban areas are reportedly closed due to massive biological contamination of littoral waters, which could cause severe health damage when combined with high water temperatures.

Haven't found any information regarding the cause of fire, but it seems to be lightening related. Here in Wisconsin today the wind is still rippin' on the heels of the storm that came through Monday night...30-40mph with gust to 50! Fighting grass fires in those conditions must have been just horrendous!
Thoughts and prayers go out to all those involved.

A blaze has ripped through the US state of Georgia, forcing residents from their land.
Monster Wildfire Displaces 1000s in US State of Georgia (Photos)
sputniknews.com
At least 130,000 acres on the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge have been decimated by the fire and there’s little hope the blaze will be contained any time soon. The wildfire started April 6.
“Anything that can burn will burn if a hot ember falls,” park officials and firefighters said.
Some displaced persons have been shuttled to a nearby elementary school, where a temporary shelter has been established. “We’re not sure what’s going to happen right now, so it’s open until further notice,” Michael Davis, West Mims Public Information Officer, said on Sunday. The shelter is estimated to hold about 79 people.
All 2,000 individuals living in the unincorporated St. George community were mandated to leave on Saturday as the fire inched closer to their homes, Davis told ABC11. Davis noted that refugees should bring whatever they think they’ll need for what may be a long stay. The fire could rage on for months.
What’s more, the fire could spread from its origin in southern Georgia down into Florida, officials noted.
About 500 firefighters are actively working to extinguish the blaze, but high winds and low humidity levels are working against them.
“First Responders are NOT coming door-to-door,” one refugee said via Facebook, as they are entirely focused on putting out the fire. Still, the West Mims Fire may labor on until November, a spokeswoman for forestry officials and fire crews said.

Georgia expands mandatory evacuations as fire moves into Florida
http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2017/05/09/Georgia-expands-mandatory-evacuations-as-fire-moves-into-Florida/5921494328087/
The Charlton County Emergency Management Agency on Monday expanded mandatory evacuations to include residents in the Georgia Bend, St. George, Canaday Loop and Moniac areas. Officials also shut down Georgia State Route 121 and Interstate 94.
The National Wildfire Coordinating Group said the fire, called the West Mims Fire and started by lightning on April 6, at Georgia's Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge grew to 133,744 acres and is 12 percent contained as of late Monday.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Fire Management Division early Tuesday estimated the fire grew to more than 140,000 acres, though the number is not yet official.
The NWCG said the fire will likely continue to expand and move north through more of the Okefenokee forest.

Officials in Pasco County near Tampa, on Florida’s Gulf Coast, called off classes Monday at an elementary, a middle and a high school near fire that burned some 2,300 acres (930.8 hectares) over the weekend.
The National Weather Service said dense smoke could quickly drop visibility near the wildfires. Fire officials say the fire was 70 percent contained on Sunday night.
Some residents north of the Jacksonville area also are on fire alert due to a wildfire in south Georgia.

The deadly wildfire in central Portugal claimed lives of 62 people so far, local media reported Sunday, citing Portugal's Secretary of State of Internal Administration Jorge Gomes.
Almost 60 others were injured as a result of the fires, the Publico media outlet reported.
The Portuguese authorities declared three days of mourning for the victims.
The extremely hot weather in Portugal led to fire outbreak in the municipality of Pedrogao Grande on Saturday. The flames quickly spread to four different directions, damaging several settlements.

5:25 p.m. - Portugal’s national soccer team is wearing black arm bands and has stood for a moment of silence with the Mexican team in solidarity with the country’s forest fire victims.
The ceremony took place before the teams’ match Sunday at the Confederations Cup tournament in Kazan, Russia.
Coach Fernando Santos, Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of the players released a statement saying “in this sad hour, we send our deepest sympathies to the families, friends and loved ones of the victims of the fires.”
FIFA President Gianni Infantino, attending the match, also offered his condolences. He says “we want to send a big hug to everyone in Portugal for what they are going through, which is absolutely terrible. There are no words for that.”
Officials say 62 people have died in a raging forest fire northeast of Lisbon, most while trying to flee in their cars.
4:50 p.m. - Greece’s prime minister has offered his Portuguese colleague Antonio Costa help in fighting the deadly wildfires in his country.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras called Costa on Sunday afternoon to offer his condolences for the 62 victims of the forest fire northeast of Lisbon and to offer the support of the Greek people. His statement says Tsipras “also emphasized that Greece will offer any help necessary to fight the fires.”
Greece experienced its deadliest fires a decade ago. From June to September 2007, 84 people died in Greek wildfires, including 67 in a blaze that torched 1,500 square kilometers (370,000 acres) of forest and farmland in southern Greece.
3:55 p.m. - Portuguese officials say most of the 62 people who died in the forest fire north of Lisbon were trying to flee the inferno in their cars.
The forest fire began Saturday in the Pedrogao Grande area, 150 kilometers (95 miles) northeast of Lisbon.
Interior Ministry official Jorge Gomes said Sunday that at least 30 people died inside their cars as they tried to flee. He says 17 others died right outside their cars or by the road, 11 people died in the forest and two people died in a car accident related to the fire. He said there was no information on the other two deaths. So far, no one has been reported killed by the fire inside a house.
Gomes says 54 people have also been injured, 5 of them seriously, including four firefighters and a minor.
Temperatures in the area have hit 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) in recent days.
A Deadly Forest Fire in Portugal
https://www.theatlantic.com/news/archive/2017/06/forest-fire-portugal/530745/
A “dry thunderstorm” is believed to have started the fire. The phenomenon happens when rain evaporates because of high temperatures before hitting the ground. Investigators found a tree struck by lightning that’s thought to be where the fire began on Saturday, about 100 miles northeast of Lisbon. The blaze sent a thick wall of smoke through the region, and 11 districts were under under surveillance on Sunday because of fire risk.

A bolt of lightning that struck a tree in the Pedrógão Grande area may be responsible for sparking one major fire, investigators told The Associated Press.
Portugal's Prime Minister Antonio Costa said that there had been 156 fires across the country over the weekend, with 11 still active -- and two blazes that are "particularly problematic."
One of multiple fires that spread in Portugal this weekend sent flames sweeping across a road, which reached motorists who became trapped in their cars. That blaze led to the bulk of the damage and fatalities, Costa told the media on Sunday. Costa said everyone who died was on one road or next to it.

Intense Heatwave Kills Four, Feeds Southwest Wildfires (Video)
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/crews-fighting-southwest-wildfires-prepare-excessive-heat-n595201
Scalding heat killed at least four people this weekend in Arizona and was stoking at least five major wildfires across the desert Southwest, authorities said Sunday.
Excessive heat warnings blanketed Southern California and Arizona, where temperatures soared into the triple digits Sunday and were expected to remain there until Monday, according to the National Weather Service. "The interior areas will remain dangerously hot," the NWS said.
The heat will remain constant in the West and expand into the middle of the country by midweek, said Reynolds Wolf, a meteorologist for The Weather Channel. "It's like you take a salt shaker of madness and sprinkle it" over the western half of the country, Wolf said.
At least four people have died in Arizona from separate heat-related emergencies, authorities said.
The first, a 25-year-old man, died while hiking the Peralta Trail in Pinal County on Saturday, Sheriff Paul Babeu said.
Sunday, a 28-year-old woman who worked as a personal trainer died during a morning hike along the Desert Vista Trail in Maricopa County, Phoenix fire officials told NBC News. The heat overcame her so swiftly that she died despite having taken along plenty of water and being immediately treated by a doctor in her hiking group.
Later Sunday, two hikers, a man and a woman in their early 20s hiking in Pima County left the trail without taking along water and had to be rescued by helicopter, authorities said. The woman died before deputies arrived, and the man was being treated at a hospital, the Pima County Sheriff's Department said Sunday night.
And one man died and another remained unaccounted for Sunday night after their hiking group was overcome in Ventana Canyon near Tucson, the Pima sheriff's office told NBC News. The man who died was believed to be from Germany, but that hadn't been confirmed, the sheriff's office said.
The crushing heat is expected to get even worse Monday, when highs in Phoenix could hit 120 degrees — the hottest in more than 20 years.
New Mexico, southern Nevada, Southern California and other parts of Arizona are expected to see temperatures as much as 20 degrees above average — up to 110 degrees, said Michael Palmer, The Weather Channel's lead meteorologist.
Fire officials said the excessive heat would hamper efforts to quell five explosive wildfires that were forcing evacuations in three states.
In New Mexico, the Dog Head fire, burning about 30 miles south of Albuquerque, had already damaged 24 homes. The fire was only 9 percent contained Sunday, according to incident commander Rich Nieto.
The fire, which started Tuesday, tripled to 17,000 acres Saturday, forcing evacuations. But it hadn't grown much by Sunday, partly because of rising humidity that came with the rising temperatures in the area, Nieto said.
Another fire burning in the state, near Cibola National Forest, had ballooned to more than 35,000 acres Sunday and was 30 percent contained.
"The weather forecast ... calls for unseasonably warm air temperatures along with a drying trend which will continue to develop over the region," fire officials said in an incident report. "This pattern will continue to increase fire behavior and smoke production."
Heat was also feeding the Sherpa fire in Santa Barbara, California, according to Los Padres National Forest officials. The more than 2,000 firefighters battling the flames were focused on saving 60 homes in Refugio Canyon and 80 homes in El Capitan Ranch, which were under a severe threat, officials said. Those areas and other surrounding areas were under mandatory evacuation warnings, and officials said Highway 101 could be shut for a second time this week because of the blaze.
Crews were able to make some progress overnight when expected "sundowner" winds, which rush down the mountains in 40-mph gusts, didn't materialize. But they will likely strengthen again, meeting low humidity and high temperatures and preventing crews from quelling the fire, which has already burned 7,800 acres.
A new fire broke out about 11:30 a.m. (2:30 p.m. ET) Sunday along the U.S.-Mexico border near Potrero, California, about 45 miles east of San Diego, and within just a few hours, it had exploded to 1,500 acres, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said.
The entire population of Potrero, about 700 people, was being evacuated for what was being called the Border fire on Sunday night, CalFire said.
Winds weren't as much of a concern for crews fighting the Cedar fire in eastern Arizona on Sunday, but the flames would be propelled by heat. "Over the next 24 hours, fire will continue to spread on the south and east flanks due to burnout operations, resulting in increased smoke and acreage growth," an incident report said.
The fire had burned 12,000 acres and was 40 percent contained. Adam Wolfe, the communications manager for the county, told NBC station KPNXof Phoenix that people in the affected city of Show Low should be ready to flee.
"If they have medication, if they have family members, make sure everything that is important can be put in cars and moved," he said.
At least four people have died in Arizona from separate heat-related emergencies, authorities said. The first, a 25-year-old man, died while hiking the Peralta Trail in Pinal County on Saturday, Sheriff Paul Babeu said.
Sunday, a 28-year-old woman who worked as a personal trainer died during a morning hike along the Desert Vista Trail in Maricopa County, Phoenix fire officials told NBC News. The heat overcame her so swiftly that she died despite having taken along plenty of water and being immediately treated by a doctor in her hiking group.

https://sputniknews.com/europe/201706181054737210-portugal-death-toll/
The deadly wildfire in central Portugal claimed lives of 62 people so far, local media reported Sunday, citing Portugal's Secretary of State of Internal Administration Jorge Gomes.
Almost 60 others were injured as a result of the fires, the Publico media outlet reported.
The Portuguese authorities declared three days of mourning for the victims.
The extremely hot weather in Portugal led to fire outbreak in the municipality of Pedrogao Grande on Saturday. The flames quickly spread to four different directions, damaging several settlements.

5:25 p.m. - Portugal’s national soccer team is wearing black arm bands and has stood for a moment of silence with the Mexican team in solidarity with the country’s forest fire victims.
The ceremony took place before the teams’ match Sunday at the Confederations Cup tournament in Kazan, Russia.
Coach Fernando Santos, Cristiano Ronaldo and the rest of the players released a statement saying “in this sad hour, we send our deepest sympathies to the families, friends and loved ones of the victims of the fires.”
FIFA President Gianni Infantino, attending the match, also offered his condolences. He says “we want to send a big hug to everyone in Portugal for what they are going through, which is absolutely terrible. There are no words for that.”
Officials say 62 people have died in a raging forest fire northeast of Lisbon, most while trying to flee in their cars.
4:50 p.m. - Greece’s prime minister has offered his Portuguese colleague Antonio Costa help in fighting the deadly wildfires in his country.
Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras called Costa on Sunday afternoon to offer his condolences for the 62 victims of the forest fire northeast of Lisbon and to offer the support of the Greek people. His statement says Tsipras “also emphasized that Greece will offer any help necessary to fight the fires.”
Greece experienced its deadliest fires a decade ago. From June to September 2007, 84 people died in Greek wildfires, including 67 in a blaze that torched 1,500 square kilometers (370,000 acres) of forest and farmland in southern Greece.
3:55 p.m. - Portuguese officials say most of the 62 people who died in the forest fire north of Lisbon were trying to flee the inferno in their cars.
The forest fire began Saturday in the Pedrogao Grande area, 150 kilometers (95 miles) northeast of Lisbon.
Interior Ministry official Jorge Gomes said Sunday that at least 30 people died inside their cars as they tried to flee. He says 17 others died right outside their cars or by the road, 11 people died in the forest and two people died in a car accident related to the fire. He said there was no information on the other two deaths. So far, no one has been reported killed by the fire inside a house.
Gomes says 54 people have also been injured, 5 of them seriously, including four firefighters and a minor.
Temperatures in the area have hit 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) in recent days.
A Deadly Forest Fire in Portugal
https://www.theatlantic.com/news/archive/2017/06/forest-fire-portugal/530745/
A “dry thunderstorm” is believed to have started the fire. The phenomenon happens when rain evaporates because of high temperatures before hitting the ground. Investigators found a tree struck by lightning that’s thought to be where the fire began on Saturday, about 100 miles northeast of Lisbon. The blaze sent a thick wall of smoke through the region, and 11 districts were under under surveillance on Sunday because of fire risk.

http://abcnews.go.com/International/images-portugal-show-aftermath-deadly-wildfire-killed-62/story?id=48115224
A bolt of lightning that struck a tree in the Pedrógão Grande area may be responsible for sparking one major fire, investigators told The Associated Press.
Portugal's Prime Minister Antonio Costa said that there had been 156 fires across the country over the weekend, with 11 still active -- and two blazes that are "particularly problematic."
One of multiple fires that spread in Portugal this weekend sent flames sweeping across a road, which reached motorists who became trapped in their cars. That blaze led to the bulk of the damage and fatalities, Costa told the media on Sunday. Costa said everyone who died was on one road or next to it.

Southern California, New Mexico, southern Nevada and Arizona Wildfires
Intense Heatwave Kills Four, Feeds Southwest Wildfires (Video)
http://www.nbcnews.com/news/weather/crews-fighting-southwest-wildfires-prepare-excessive-heat-n595201
Scalding heat killed at least four people this weekend in Arizona and was stoking at least five major wildfires across the desert Southwest, authorities said Sunday.
Excessive heat warnings blanketed Southern California and Arizona, where temperatures soared into the triple digits Sunday and were expected to remain there until Monday, according to the National Weather Service. "The interior areas will remain dangerously hot," the NWS said.
The heat will remain constant in the West and expand into the middle of the country by midweek, said Reynolds Wolf, a meteorologist for The Weather Channel. "It's like you take a salt shaker of madness and sprinkle it" over the western half of the country, Wolf said.
At least four people have died in Arizona from separate heat-related emergencies, authorities said.
The first, a 25-year-old man, died while hiking the Peralta Trail in Pinal County on Saturday, Sheriff Paul Babeu said.
Sunday, a 28-year-old woman who worked as a personal trainer died during a morning hike along the Desert Vista Trail in Maricopa County, Phoenix fire officials told NBC News. The heat overcame her so swiftly that she died despite having taken along plenty of water and being immediately treated by a doctor in her hiking group.
Later Sunday, two hikers, a man and a woman in their early 20s hiking in Pima County left the trail without taking along water and had to be rescued by helicopter, authorities said. The woman died before deputies arrived, and the man was being treated at a hospital, the Pima County Sheriff's Department said Sunday night.
And one man died and another remained unaccounted for Sunday night after their hiking group was overcome in Ventana Canyon near Tucson, the Pima sheriff's office told NBC News. The man who died was believed to be from Germany, but that hadn't been confirmed, the sheriff's office said.
The crushing heat is expected to get even worse Monday, when highs in Phoenix could hit 120 degrees — the hottest in more than 20 years.
New Mexico, southern Nevada, Southern California and other parts of Arizona are expected to see temperatures as much as 20 degrees above average — up to 110 degrees, said Michael Palmer, The Weather Channel's lead meteorologist.

The Living Force
A forest fire in Southern Spain threatening a national park famous for its biodiversity has forced the evacuation of at least 1,500 people.
Spain: 1,500 Evacuated as Fire Hits Famed National Park
http://en.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13960405000544
The flames advanced eastward on Sunday and entered Donana National Park, one of Spain's most important nature reserves, a tourist attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1994 , Al-Jazeera reported.
The park, which has over 50,000 hectares of wetlands and woods, is an important stop for migratory birds from Africa and Europe. It is home to a variety of animals, including the highly endangered Iberian lynx and the Iberian imperial eagle.
"The fire has entered in the limits of the reserve, and that is where we are focusing our efforts," Jose Gregorio Fiscal Lopez from the regional Andalusian authority in charge of the environment told Spanish national television.
Emergency services said local authorities sent in 10 helicopters, seven planes and four waterbombing jets to deal with the blaze, which comes a week after forest fires killed more than 60 people in neighbouring Portugal. Over 150 firefighters were also combating the blaze.
Spain was notably hit by a spate of forest fires in 2015 and officials said some of those could had been started deliberately.
The cause of the latest fire was also not clear and regional president Susana Diaz, who rushed to the area affected, indicated "the human factor cannot be excluded."
Diaz said fighting the blaze was proving difficult due to the hot, dry weather, with temperatures reaching 39 degrees Celsius and shifting winds.
The regional president said "there's no risk to the population" after hundreds of people were evacuated from campsites and houses near the town of Moguer on Spain's southern coast where the fire started on Saturday night.
Around 750 people are being housed temporarily in sports centres, according to emergency services. Some residents had already been allowed to return to their properties.
At this time of year, Spain is also having to battle drought and on Sunday saw several areas classed as being at maximum risk of fire, including the Andalusian province of Huelva, where the Donana Park is situated.
