"Virginia Wildfire Update: Rain Aids Containment Efforts in Shenandoah Valley"

Rain has helped contain still-burning wildfires in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, with the state deploying additional resources to the area, including fuel trucks, meals, provisions, and volunteer firefighting capacity. The fires, part of the Luray Complex, are 50 to 70% contained, while a separate blaze known as the Rocky Branch Fire is only 10% contained. The state's emergency management department is also deploying teams for logistics support and damage assessments. Gov. Glenn Youngkin visited the area and initiated a regional emergency response effort after Page County officials requested a state emergency declaration due to significant property loss and acres burned.
