Victims of deadly Tennessee wildfires that began in Great Smoky Mountains National Park are suing the federal government. The lawsuit in Knoxville was filed by two survivors of the November 2016 Gatlinburg area fire — Michael Reed, whose wife and two daughters died, and James England, whose home burned. They seek a combined $14.8 million in damages. They blame their losses on federal parks employees violating established fire-management policies, failing to prioritize safety of citizens and property, and failing to notify and warn of threats posed by the fire. The Park service has declined to comment on active litigation.
