Big Levels
Near St. Mary’s Trail
Augusta County, Virginia
As we’ve been posting on our BRL Facebook page for the last few days, wildfires continue burning this Sunday afternoon in the Big Levels National Forest area of Augusta County. That’s just north of northern of the St. Mary’s Trail.
Due to the ongoing fires, the U.S. Forest Service has announced the closure of some public use areas.
Enhanced fire danger updates have also been posted for the entire area by the National Weather Service for Sunday due to sometimes gusty winds and very dry conditions.
We will continue to update as more information becomes available.
With considerable rain in the forecast for the coming days, that should help the situation.
