A helicopter and a single engine air tanker (SEAT) are working the fire, as is one 20-person ground crew. Another SEAT, two heavy air tankers, and additional firefighting crews, including a hot shot team, have been ordered. The fire was ignited Wednesday night by lightning, along with two other small fires, also burning near the First Fork Road. One of those is currently estimated at a quarter-acre and the other at one tenth of an acre. The firefighters are addressing these smaller fires in addition to the KV Fire.
