So It's been almost a month since the worst wild fire in the state on Tennessee history where 14 People died, 175 where injured, and 2400 homes, businesses and Structures where burned. The Mayor of Sevier County Larry Waters estimates the Damage to be more that a half Billion Dollars.

This Blaze was man made, and in this case Juvenile made and two young Teenagers are being charged with the start of the fire. If convicted they could go to jail for 60 years. The More serious charges are 1st degree murder in some cases.

Drought and high winds contributed to the start of the fire, they same such conditions exist here in Alabama even though we've had a lot of rain over the past few days. Everything is on the table in regards to the sentencing process. Pretty scary process for some teens that started a fire out of fun and escalated into something more.
