Resort town of gatlinburg and pigeon forge. Officials say more than 100 buildings have been damaged. As you can imagine the visibility is very poor because of the smoke and the particulate in the air. Therefore, there are areas that are too smoky that we cant see yet. We dont know whats there. 12 people, we are told, have been transported to the hospital. None with life threatening injuries, thank goodness. Occupants in this hotel captured video of the flames before they fled. The governor deployed the National Guard to help fight the blaze. Joining me is the city manager of pigeon forge, one of the towns in the middle of the fire storm. Thank you very much for joining us. This is a terrible time. This just erupted overnight. Tell us what the situation is now. Presently we have about five storms or five fires that are being followed by firefighters not only from pigeon forge but from across the state of tennessee. Do you need more help . The National Guard, i know, has been called out.
