Gatlinburg, TN (WOKI) The Flint Gap Fire, which was started by lightning on August 26th, continues to burn slowly in a remote area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park primarily in undergrowth in steep terrain.
The fire is estimated to be roughly 28 acres and is not contained and has grown minimally over the last several days due to weather conditions and shaded terrain.
Increased smoke has been visible this week and some rain is expected this weekend which will likely slow, but not extinguish the fire.
No structures are threatened at this time. Some roads and campsites remained closed due to the fire.
