  Shenandoah County, Virginia
Virginia's good overall record of avoiding disastrous fires contributed to an element of complacency, which can be seen by the inadequate attention to fire protection planning for home sites and recreation areas by woodland home residents and developers.
In Shenandoah County, the advisory group researched and developed a suggested model wildfire ordinance to establish minimum wildfire protection standards for future design and construction of structures and developments within wildfire risk areas.
Recognizing this, the Virginia Department of Forestry and the Shenandoah County Fire and Rescue Association sponsored a one-day course held in Woodstock in 1993 on Strategy and Tactics in the Wildland Urban Interface.

The Shenandoah River, c.150 mi (240 km) long, rises in two forks on either side of the ridge, uniting near Front Royal, Va., and flowing northeast to enter the Potomac at Harpers Ferry, W.Va. The Shenandoah valley was first explored in the early 1700s.
During the Civil War, the valley was the ideal avenue of approach for the Southern invasion of the North, and it served as one of the Confederates’ principal storehouses.
Shenandoah figured in the “valley campaign” of Stonewall Jackson in 1862; Lee retreated through the valley after being checked in the Antietam campaign (1862) and the Gettysburg campaign (1863).

The original home of the Hurst family in America was in Shenandoah county, Virginia, whence Absalom Hurst, with his family, removed to Little Reed Island creek and New river, in what is now Pulaski county, during the early settlement of Southwest Virginia.

Rev. Samuel Need Hurst, son of Allen and Nancy (Cook) Hurst, was born February 16, 1867, in Pulaski county, Virginia, and was reared on the home farm, in the lap of the foothills of Max mountain, in Hiawassee district.
