[**NOTE ANCHOR TAG**] Dry conditions in Virginia are helping fuel the flames of several forest fires burning throughout the state - including one in the Shenandoah National Park which now covers more than 13-thousand acres. A smaller fire in Craig County kept crews busy this weekend. Kate Weidaw reports, because of the high threat of forest fires, everyone who enjoys the outdoors needs to be on guard.

"I am positive that there was another news story in the area that was more important then whether he will play...or be on the sidelines as an injured player. I think that it is great that the Virginia Tech Hokies are doing so well in the season, however some things are more important."
The news that the Cave Spring football team would have to forfeit some games for using an ineligible player brought a comment from a viewer in Radford. (Culver C. Bennett/Radford).
"I just happen to believe that it is a shame that all of these kids and coaches have worked so hard, and are now being punished for something that was beyond their control. If it was the athletic director's error then that person should be the one to be punished, not the football players who work their butts off for that team."
