BALD HEAD ISLAND, N.C. — Fire crews in a coastal North Carolina town tackled a massive blaze Saturday Night that left several homes destroyed.
Bald Head Island's Department of Public Safety said it responded to the fire just before 8 p.m. Saturday in the Lighthouse Landing area of the island.
Officials said north winds caused the fire to quickly spread to multiple structures in the area. Multiple homes and a crofter were lost in the massive blaze, according to officials.
No injuries were reported from the incident, officials said.
The office shared a Facebook post around 10 p.m. saying volunteers were working to douse the flames. Multiple structures were hit by the fire, and mutual aid was called in.
Emergency crews from multiple areas were called to the scene, including crews from Boiling Spring Lakes, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Leland, Oak Island, Southport, Sunny Point, Winnabow and the U.S. Coast Guard, according to officials. EMS crews from Brunswick County and St. James also responded.
Crews were able to fully contain the blaze around 1 a.m., the office said.
The office said a fireguard remained on scene through Sunday morning to monitor the area in case another fire sparks.
The fire marshal is expected to begin investigating this incident Sunday.
