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.
The causes of ignition can be split into two groups, 'natural' and 'human influence'. Lightning strikes are the main way bushfires are started naturally. There are, on average, more bushfires initiated due to lightning strikes than any other individual cause, accounting for approximately 26 percent of all bushfires.The vast majority of bushfires, however, are generated by the actions or influences of humans.evere bushfires may burn all the vegetation in a particular area, while more moderate fires will, generally, cause less damage to the natural surroundings. The most obvious result of fire is the loss of plant and animal life. When an area is burned out, vegetation is destroyed as it was used by the fire as fuel.
