Choppers have been flying over Hot Springs all day trying to put out a fire which I'm told has burned down a shelter and FS has now shutoff section of the trail. PLEASE PUT OUT THOSE FIRES BEFORE YOU FALL ASLEEP AND BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT!

I hate to see anything burn like this, but if it had to happen, too bad it wasn't Walnut Mountain Shelter. That one needs a revamp or removal.

There's a TFR over the area now so they must be bringing in helicopters.
