Part of the mountainside off U.S. 129 is scorched, but all roads have reopened after a large wildfire ignited last weekend in the Great Smoky Mountains.

In an update provided Wednesday, Dana Soehn, Great Smoky Mountains National Park spokesperson, said the fire that sparked in the western portion of the park near Chilhowee Lake this past Sunday is 100% contained.

"Firefighters removed damaged trees along Highway 129 to reduce roadside hazards for motorists," Soehn said in a news release. 

Blount County, Tennessee officials notified the park Sunday at 11:37 a.m. after the wildfire was initially reported near the western boundary of the park along U.S. 129 at the 4.5-mile marker, as stated in a news release from Great Smoky Mountains Park officials.

The fire started after a motorcycle lost control on U.S. 129 and then became engulfed in flames after colliding with the roadside. The crash ignited the wildfire, which was estimated to be 40 acres in size, according to park officials. The motorcyclist was able to make it to safety before the fire erupted, officials said.

Emergency crews fought the fire in a combined effort, using six engine crews, a helicopter team and more. Mother Nature helped by adding some rainfall as crews worked to extinguish the blaze, according to officials.  

Now, some smoldering in the western area of the park is all that remains of the once-big blaze.

As of Wednesday, U.S. 129 and Parson Branch Road are now open, according to Soehn. Hazardous trees will be removed along U.S. 129 that were damaged in the fire to minimize roadside hazards for drivers. 

Firefighter resources have been reduced to one engine crew that will continue to monitor the area.  

"The perimeter around the 40-acre fire is secure and firefighter resources have been reduced to one Type 6 Engine Crew who will continue to monitor the area," Soehn said in the release.
