Four fire departments and the N.C. Forest Service responded to a woods fire on the Town of North Wilkesboro’s Industrial Park property off River Road/Liberty Grove Road in North Wilkesboro
Firefighters were busy with numerous wildfires last week and through the weekend, including three that burned hundreds of acres of forestland in the Elk Creek Valley of Wilkes and Watauga
Firefighters responded to three small woods and/or brush fires Monday, reflecting conditions and increased risks this time of year due to dry, freshly-fallen leaves and lack of green leaves.
