Guilty pleas result in fines, penalties following Nada Tunnel fire


WINCHESTER, Ky., August 17, 2009 – Ten individuals recently pled guilty in federal court for causing a forest wildfire in the Red River Gorge nearly one year ago.

snap* good time of the year to get this message out- hurricane season down south means fire season is approaching here- sorry people got such serious fines for this but the damage from those fires is still evident today. would be a good time for the Forest Service to drop the charade at Military as well

I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.
