Last night 06/02/26 at approximately 7pm Kenansville Fire was dispatched to 587 East Wards Bridge Rd for a brush fire, upon arrival we found a large block of woods burning that the fire dept could not gain access to. Mutal aid was called in from Sarecta, Oak Wolfe, Warsaw, Pleasant Grove, Beulaville, Duplin County Sheriffs Office and NC Forestry. Mutal aid departments help protect homes and structures on NC 1004 from the fire. Duplin Co Sheriff’s was called for there drone to get an over view to see how far the fire had spread. Kenansville Fire wants to Thank all mutal aid for there help and resources for this fire. NC Forestry estimates that approximately 80 acres were burned. Also there will be smoke still in the area of NC 11-903 approximately 3-4 miles from Kenansville and on NC 1004 (Summerlins Crossroads Road). Please keep this in mind when traveling in that area.

Thanks
