**Start Date/Time/Location** The Sequatchie - Woodcock Road Fire ignited on Sunday, March 23, 2025, in the early afternoon on Woodcock Road in Sequatchie County, Tennessee[2][4][5]. **Size and Containment** As of the latest reports, the fire has burned approximately 450 acres and is now nearly 100% contained, with some sources indicating 80% containment as of Monday late afternoon[1][3][5]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** The fire rapidly spread up the mountain due to wind-driven conditions, reaching nearly 500 acres. The rough terrain and weather conditions posed significant challenges for the firefighting efforts[2][3][4]. **Containment Efforts** Multiple fire departments, including Dunlap, Southend, West Valley, Luminary, Crossroads, Fredonia Mountain, Altamont, Palmer, Pikeville, Whitwell, and Whitwell Mountain, have been involved in the response. Three tanker planes from Florida assisted by dropping red dye to help smother the flames. Rainfall late Sunday into early Monday also aided in the firefighting efforts[1][2][4].
