Phone service required to get DSL: There is no way to sign up for Verizon Wireless' DSL Internet without also signing up for phone service. This is a limitation that most other DSL providers do not have, so you may be frustrated to hear that Verizon does.
What caused the Gatlinburg wildfire? Dry conditions and high winds caused a wildfire on Chimney Tops Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains to spread quickly. Even as officials in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevier County assess the damage caused by a massive wildfire, the question of how the blaze started continues.
Still, human fire activity is the primary cause of wildfires having nearly ten times the start rate of natural starts (average 10-year percent U.S. starts: 88% human caused; 12% lightning caused). Most of these human fires result from accidental causes.Accidental fires are usually caused by carelessness or inattention by campers, hikers, or others traveling through wild land or by debris and garbage burners.ost of these human fires result from accidental causes.
