Fire season ends

Virginia’s fall 2006 wildland fire season ended Nov. 30 on a relatively quiet note, much like the entire 47-day period. Officials with the Virginia Department of Forestry responded to 42 fires that burned 563 acres, numbers in stark contrast to the 2006 spring fire season that saw 1,208 fires bum more than 12,847 acres across the commonwealth.

“The wet weather this fall really made the difference,” said John Miller, VDOF’s director of resource protection.
