Illegal Burning Escalation Leads to Firefighting Effort in Vass

On Saturday, Feb.17, a fire in Vass was effectively managed by Cypress Pointe Fire/Rescue and the NC Forestry Service. The fire, resulting from an escaped pile of illegal burning, consumed an estimated two acres of land. It posed a significant risk, endangering one structure and two vehicles in its vicinity. The response, involving multiple vehicles and coordination between agencies, highlights the dangers of unauthorized burning. Source: Cypress Pointe Fire & Rescue
