It could be that the #BlackCoveComplexFire is a "test bed" for what lies ahead. Hurricane Helene's blow down affected over 800K ac. How will #wildfires be fought in such areas? What tools will be needed for each #wildfire? How will FF's stay safe? Many questions! #NorthCarolina #NCwx #BlackCoveFire
