Dry Weather and Cold Spark Major Weekend Fires
Nearly 200 fires destroyed 1,833 acres of forest, pasture, brush and marsh as arid conditions and bitter cold fueled daytime blazes. Rain eased danger Sunday but officials warned more fires could follow. The largest blaze struck Kitty Hawk in Dare County, likely set intentionally, displacing four homes while marsh fires across the area were linked to the same possible arsonist.
