A 730-acre wildfire, dubbed the “Coyote Fire,” is now mostly contained at Crowders Mountain State Park, according to the North Carolina Forest Service’s website. As of Monday afternoon, Gaston County officials said the fire was 95% contained. The N.C. Forest Service said they used a burnout operation to burn fuel in the firest and help contain the fire. Rain Sunday night and Monday helped bring the Crowders Mountain fire and another fire in McDowell County under control. Gaston County officials said the fire was first discovered by Crowders Mountain State Park officials around 7 a.m. At that point, about 70 acres were already gone. No structures were impacted, as the fire was in a remote area, allowing for firefighters to slowly restrict the fire as time passed.
