Topsail/Pender county NC forest fire and wildfire in May 1986. This is old footage from that fire, so forgive the quality. The video is like 23 years old. This fire took 10 days to put out and burned 73,000 acres in and around the Holly Shelter game land near Hampstead NC. Also was close to Wilmington, Rocky Point, and Jacksonville NC.
