Good evening I'm Joe Dashiell, sitting in for Eric Earnhart.
Firefighters are still battling a wild fire in the mountains of Rockbridge

So far officials estimate the fire has torched more than 250 acres in a
remote section of The George Washington and Jefferson National Forests.
The fire started around 8-30 last night... and investigators are not sure

A published report says the economic benefits outweigh the cost when it
comes to tobacco in Virginia.
The commonwealth is one of only four states where tobacco's economic revenues
are greater than its health-related expenses.
That's according to a ``Richmond Times-Dispatch'' analysis of federal
government data.
The state reaps about five billion dollars a year from tobacco while spending
less than one-fifth that amount on smoking-related health expenses.
North Carolina, Kentucky and Georgia are the only other states where
tobacco's economic benefits outweigh its health costs.

Take Prime Time Board Fullscreen
A reminder-- for the region's first TEN o'clock newscast, watch News-7
Prime Time tomorrow and every weeknight on W-E-F-C.
It's on Channel 38 "over the air," and on a lot of cable systems--for
example, we're on Cable Channel 12 in Roanoke City and County and Vinton, cable
channel seven in Salem.
And don't forget to tune in to News 7 at 11, right here on W-D-B-J.
