Help is on the way from the federal government to fight the massive tire fire burning in Roanoke County.
The Environmental Protection Agency is offering half-a-million dollars in financial assistance for clean up and fire fighting efforts at the tire dump.
It's been burning now for 5 days.
That, as health officials lifted a health advisory today.

Jean, the Keeling tire dump has now been declared a Superfund site, which means it's eligible to receive federal funding to help with fire fighting and clean up efforts.
The EPA has already pledged half a million dollars and it says that amount could go up to 1.2 million.

He may have been the unlikeliest Hollywood heart-throb of all. But actor
Dudley Moore charmed moviegoers, playing a funny man with a heart-of-gold
in films such as 10 and Arthur.
(NAT)
Moore died Wednesday at his home in New Jersey, 66 years old. Doctors
say pneumonia killed him, part of the complications he suffered from
progressive supranuclear palsy. Moore had been sick for some time.
(NAT)
Moore was born with a club foot, and once said his mother wanted to kill
him because of his deformity. He used that pain as a basis for his
comedy. And many European fans remember his days in London.
(SOT PETER SCOTT/FAN)
Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were a famous comedy jewel. I used to love
them.
(NAT)
There were elements of his own life in 10, where Moore played a
musician determined to marry the perfect woman. In real life, all four
of his marriages ended in divorce.
(S/U CHRIS LAWRENCE/CBS NEWS)
Here on Hollywood Boulevard, Dudley Moore had a lot of fans, who wished
his star could have shined a bit longer.
(SOT JOHNNY GRANT/MAYOR OF HOLLYWOOD)
Whatever he did, he did it with verve and gusto.
Fans have been walking by all morning, some just learning of Moores
death and leaving something behind.
(SOT GRANT)
You know, he was a little fella. But how he carried that big heart
around, I don't know. Maybe it just gave out.
At 5 feet 2, Moore may have been one of the shortest actors in
Hollywood. Fans say he stood tallest by just being himself. Chris
