| WTAP-TV (Parkersburg, WV) Verified
WOOD COUNTY, W.Va. — Firefighters have roughly 95% containment on a large fire in Wood County, but officials say fully extinguishing it will likely take several more days, according to Wood County 911.

That is expected to change overnight, when shifting conditions could cause smoke to settle closer to the ground.
