battling massive fire in Pigeon Forge  PIGEON FORGE, Tenn.
(WKYT) - The Tennessee resort community of Pigeon Forge is under
siege as a raging wildfire consumes hundreds of acres in East
Tennessee.  Pigeon Forge is just outside the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park, and it's a popular vacation spot for
Kentuckians.  Crews are still trying to contain the massive
fire. It's already destroyed dozens of cabins in the Smoky
Mountains. Tennessee authorities say the fire started Sunday
afternoon in a single cabin at Black Bear Ridge Resort in Pigeon
Forge. High winds helped fuel and spread the fire. Now more than
300 acres and at least 35 cabins have been destroyed. Twenty-
five fire departments are trying to put it out.  "It's a huge
fire. A large amount of resources are up here. It's been rough.
It's been the roughest I've ever seen it," noted Chief Tony
Watson with the Pigeon Forge Fire Department.  Authorities say
around ten acres burned near Dollywood. P
