IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE FIRE CHIEF

MOTSU (Sunny Point) will begin their controlled burn today in Kure Beach.  The burning is expected to begin around 9AM and end around 3PM today.  They expect to burn around 145 acres today (see map below).  Although the winds are expected to blow NNE to ENE throughout the day, expect a moderate amount of smoke in the area all day and lingering into tomorrow.  Due to the fact that most of the burn will be in and around Dow Road, efforts should be made to travel out of Kure Beach using Ft Fisher Blvd if possible.
