Two juveniles were charged Wednesday in connection to last week's deadly wildfire that killed 14 and scorched 700 hundred structures, Tennessee District Attorney Jimmy Dunn announced.
Dunn could not release the ages of the suspects, but said they lived outside of the immediate area.
The wildfire started two weeks ago, but was contained within the Smoky Mountain National Park until last Monday when high winds spread the fire toward the resort town of Gatlinburg. Residents were forced to flee immediately.
The city did not reopen until today.
