What we know right now about the fires in the Sevier County area:

High winds ahead of a storm front whipped up wildfires burning in the Twins Creek and Chimney Tops areas of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park Monday afternoon. Wind gusts topped 60 mph.
By afternoon, much of Sevier County, a popular tourist destination, was smothered in smoke and soot.
The wind took the fire out of the park, and during the evening, Gatlinburg and much of Pigeon Forge were evacuated. Evacuees gathered in the LeConte Center in Pigeon Forge and Pigeon Forge Community Center.
The Dollywood theme park and its associated lodging were evacuated, but initial reports that structures were burning before midnight proved untrue.
Later in the night, the Tennessee Emergency Management Administration said 30 buildings were burning in Gatlinburg.
Social media, video clips and eyewitness accounts indicated fires at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, the Park Vista Hotel and Chalet Village North.
Fire was also reported near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park headquarters.
Rain began to fall before midnight, but the fires were not extinguished.
Sevier County Schools, Cocke County Schools and Greene County Schools cancelled classes for Tuesday.
The National Guard was being deployed to help.
About 50-60 fire apparatuses were deployed to Sevier County, with more than 100 personnel manning the equipment.
There are 12,509 people without power, and 1,200 people are being sheltered in Gatlinburg Community Center and Rocky Top Sports Park.
