ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — A little more than a half-inch of rain fell in the Asheville area on Tuesday, prompting fire crews in McDowell County to focus on restoring firelines and areas disturbed by wildfire suppression. Officials said the goal is to return the landscape to as natural a state as possible to minimize erosion.

A stationary front will linger across the region for the next few days, triggering scattered showers and thunderstorms each afternoon and evening, according to the National Weather Service. The wet weather pattern is expected to persist throughout the week, aiding firefighting efforts across Western North Carolina.

Bee Rock Creek Fire (McDowell County)

The Bee Rock Creek Fire, which has burned 2,085 acres in McDowell County, received about a quarter-inch of rain in the last 48 hours. Additional rainfall is expected through Thursday. The fire is 94 percent contained.

The area of the Bee Rock Creek Fire between Armstrong Creek Road and the Blue Ridge Parkway is closed, as are some sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Sam Davis Road Fire (Swain County)

The Sam Davis Road Fire in Swain County is now fully contained, according to Swain County Emergency Management. The 559-acre fire,  about 4 miles southwest of Bryson City, began April 18. The cause remains under investigation.

Strategic fire lines remain in place to prevent spread beyond Sam Davis Road to the west, Lower Alarka Road to the south, Dark Branch Road to the east and Potato Hill to the north.

Haoe Lead Fire (Graham County)

The Haoe Lead Fire, sparked by lightning on April 12, has grown to 3,103 acres in the Nantahala National Forest. It is burning roughly 7 miles west of Robbinsville and is about 29 percent contained.

The fire is burning in and around the Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness, consuming hardwood leaf litter and shrubs on steep, rugged terrain — much of it within the burn scar of the 2016 Maple Springs Fire. No structures are currently threatened, and no evacuations have been ordered.

A USDA Forest Service closure order remains in effect for the area surrounding the fire. The closure includes the North Carolina portion of the Joyce Kilmer-Slickrock Wilderness and nearby non-wilderness areas along Santeetlah Road. Most trails in the wilderness, including the Joyce Kilmer Memorial Loop (Trail 43) and sections of the Benton MacKaye Trail, remain closed. Santeetlah Road and the Big Santeetlah Creek area are also closed.
