Great Smoky Mountains Gatlinburg Tn Drone View Of The Wild Fire Devastation 

We were there last Christmas. You can still see where some houses used to be and burned areas. Sad.

My son took up donations and used his Simi and trailer and brought down 2 Simi loads down to Gatlinburg just after the fire from his home in southern Illinois.

My family and i were staying in our vacation cabin in Cobbly Knob for the holidays. That Monday we left at 430 pm for Sevierville due to the smoke. Our cabin burnt down and i am so blessed that myself, my son and his family we are with me. I still hurt for the neighbors who lost all.

Still so many burnt looking trees

I was in that and it still breaks my heart today and I cry about so much loss for me and all the others.

Thank you for sharing your video. God bless all who, lost loved ones and property.

My wife and I stayed at the Tree Tops Resort in Gatlinburg Tennessee this past week. It's so disheartening to see the devastation that happened 6 months ago. It's one thing to see it on a video and totally different to see it in person.

so very sad to see and to see the places like Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge all with alot if not totally destroyed is heartbreaking.Your video is nice and only shows some of the damage.Still my heart breaks for those that lost everything and even family members.God Bless this beautiful place and even though they will slowly rebuild,still it doesn't bring the loved ones lost back or the keepsakes and heirlooms that the people lost that can't be replaced,they will always have their memories.

I was staying in a cabin a week before this happened. I feel so lucky. I came back to see it all it’s sad to see it all gone. I hope all the people that died Rest In Peace.

sad. beautiful shots from drone. You fly very responsibly. Keep it up

You did a great job with this 👍

WAKE UP PEOPLE

What drone did you use for this video ? Great picture quality 👍🏻

Doesnt anyone besides me see something very odd here? THE TREES ARE STILL THERE!! So sorry for your loss. I doubt theyll let you rebuild, they wanted that area for something. Are you rebuilding?

I like this a lot it's really well done =]

I lost my cabin

beautiful video, what song is that?

how is the town recovering now, and did you personally lose anything in the fire

thank you for that information :)

I went to Tennessee last summer and a few days later when I got back home my dad told me that smokey mountain and ripleys aquarium burned down and I was sad to hear that so many animals were left to die but at least I got to go to those places before it burnd down

The one responsible for that fire needs to spend the rest of theire life in prison without ever getting out there was things burnt up that can never be replaced its not the cost of how much burnt but the houses and other things that burnt up and burnt down they need to spend the rest of theire life in prison and watch a tape of the fire every day to think about what they done if i had been there i would have chained them up and let them burn up in the fire while the people that lost theire homes and buisness whatched then you could say justice was served tax payers shouldnt be resposisble for keeping them alive thinhs will never be the same because of that fire

My husband i went there 24th march 2017 from ga on honeymoon all could do wa cry

Had a lot of brace young men and women go up there

Man I cant believe I was in that

What do the fire damaged areas look like now?

This video is a grim admonishment to everyone who owns property near wilderness. As a firefighter, we are limited by numerous factors. A property surrounded by brush is nearly impossible to defend against fires at speed. Visit firewise.org to learn how to safeguard your home.

Why would you rebuild that??? Why would anyone want to live in the mountain again where this can happen again

Give it back to nature. DON'T REBUILD!
