Table Rock

Three men, ages 18 and 19, were charged Tuesday in connection with the fire that still burns at Table Rock Mountain. A juvenile was also charged, but not booked.

A third of the fire at Table Rock Mountain was contained by Monday noon. Two-thirds of the fire at Persimmon Ridge was also contained. Weather has made a difference.

Smoke from the fires at Table Rock Mountain and Persimmon Ridge are filling the air with particles and gases. Health officials advise evacuating or staying inside with a filtered HVAC system, especially for those with existing respiratory conditions.

Regional, state, and federal agencies, after months of delays, finally got to do a controlled burn at Table Rock State Park, following a busy fire season.
