Our thoughts and prayers to those affected by these wild fires and a million thanks to those fighting these fires around the clock. Your community thanks you!!! ❤️
🚒JUST IN: The wildfire in Boiling Spring Lakes, Brunswick County, has rapidly grown to nearly 700 acres and has very little containment. Dry and windy conditions have allowed for the fire to spread quickly, firefighters are rapidly working to protect homes and businesses. Mandatory evacuations are now in place for Pine Lake, Drayton, Robin, Cherry, and Bordeaux. Along with Bordeaux Pine Lake, Black Hawk Hunters, and Barclay Bluebird Garage roads. Due to increasing fire activity, NC-87 has closed in Boiling Spring Lakes until further notice. Folks attempting to get to Southport Oak Island, St James, and Bald Head should use NC-211 as a detour. It is extremely smoky, so use caution when traveling. Please do not fly drones near the fire!
If you need shelter, please go to South Brunswick High School.
