Summary
A major wildfire erupted Friday night in southern Brunswick County near Old Georgetown Road and Hale Swamp Road, sending thick smoke miles into the air and forcing evacuations in Rourk Woods. Roads including Village Point and Hale Swamp were closed due to poor visibility, and officials warned against drone use near the blaze — it’s illegal and dangerous. Residents outside the immediate area are urged to stay away, while locals should monitor the Sheriff’s Office and NC Forest Service for updates as crews work to contain the fire.
