Firefighters from Sugar Loaf, Ellendale, Taylorsville, and Hiddenite, along with the N.C. Forest Service, raced to the scene — using ladder trucks and bulldozers to battle flames threatening to spread through dense kudzu. Emergency Management, EMS, the Rehab Trailer, and even the Ladies Auxiliary joined forces in a coordinated, community-driven effort. Thanks to their swift action, the fire was contained — though the structure was lost — preventing a potentially catastrophic wildfire. A powerful reminder: even forgotten places can ignite big problems — and teamwork saves the day. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
