Third or fourth arson this week in Spring City TN... While speaking to local residents, State Forest Service employees admitted setting at least two of the fires, including burning down a vacant house in Wolf Creek "for training purposes". Notice how the corporate news reports them as accidental "wildfires under investigation" for arson...
The majority of the latest forest fire was a controlled-burn backfire, that burned 100s of acres owned by the political Van Hilleary family, nearly burning down their abandoned mansion. Insurance claim?
The toothless firebugs at the Forest Service "forgot" to tell area 911 Dispatch, Police, Sheriff, Fire Departments, news repeaters and terrorized residents that this was an intentional "controlled-burn"... Notice how firemen don't carry fire extinguishing equipment, only flamethrowers:

Firefighters have been battling wild fires near Grandview Mountain for several days, and local law enforcement is investigating the cause of those fires.
Tennessee Forestry Division Technician Russell Roberts said Tuesday that his agency is battling a 125-acre fire that spans from the Cawood Road area west to Possum Trot Road at the foot of Grandview Mountain.
He said the blaze is proving tricky in that no roads give firemen access to the blaze. Roberts said even bulldozers are having a hard time reaching the fire.
To fight brush fires forestry agents clear trees and underbrush around the fire, leaving nothing to burn so the fire will snuff itself out.
As of Tuesday afternoon the blaze was about 100 feet away from any houses, which Roberts said was a fairly safe distance.
Roberts and other forestry technicians fought a 55-acre fire at the end of last week near Highway 68 in the Grandview area as well. It took them two days to extinguish that blaze.
Roberts said the nooks and crannies near the ridgeline complicate the firefighting.
"When you get in these mountains you've got all these bluff lines," he said.
Roberts said brush fires usually crop up in early spring, but these fires are two-to-three weeks early, he said.
"We just need to catch up on our rainfall levels," he said.
County firefighters have been on hand as back up. Assistant Rhea County Fire Chief Chuck Kinney said county firefighters primarily provide backup but step up when buildings are in danger.
Rhea County Chief Deputy John Argo said the sheriff's department is investigating the cause of the fires and suspects it may be arson.
"We're checking in to see what we can find out," he said.
