2025 Bee Rock Creek Fire - NCNCF
Publication Type: News - 04/22/2025 - 09:41
Firefighters increased containment to 50% on the 2,085-acre Bee Rock Creek Fire in McDowell County yesterday. Most of the added containment is next to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Although the east and west sides of the fire are uncontained, firefighters used drones with infrared cameras and found little to no heat near firelines. Crews also repaired areas disturbed by suppression activities.
The fire area is predicted to receive about 1/3 inch of rain today.
Nearly all of the personnel assigned to the fire will demobilize to return home or to other incidents.
The National Forests in North Carolina closed the area of the Bee Rock Creek Fire between Armstrong Creek Road and the Blue Ridge Parkway for public and firefighter safety.
Some sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway are also closed. Check the National Park Service website for details before visiting.
