Update 830pm 3/29/2026: The fire has consumed approximately 120 acres and is still within the fire breaks. This fire will likely take several days to fully extinguish as there is no indication of rain for the next couple of days. There are several stumps and small debris burning within the already burned area. Those are not of major concern at this time. If you see fire that is not surrounded by already burned materials, please call 911. As stated on many social media outlets, refrain from outdoor burning until weather conditions allow it to be done safely.

As of 645 this morning, the Tucker Mountain fire is 100% contained and most of the way burned through. Please use caution in this area as personnel will continue to monitor changing weather conditions and fire breaks. If you plan to be outside today, please keep in mind the affected area will continue to smolder and smoke until hot spot areas are addressed. We will share more information about this incident as time allows. Thank you to everyone for being patient as responders across this county assist with this incident.
