BREAKING 🔥 Wildfire update: Shallotte Middle School sent students home early this morning — a noticeable smoke odor inside the building from the Bricklanding Road / Old Georgetown Road wildfire prompted the early dismissal, per Brunswick County Schools. Car riders were released at 9:45, buses at 10.
The district says West Brunswick High and Union Elementary are running normal schedules (no smoke issues there), and there’s no public air-quality alert at this time.
That ~50-acre fire is still active, with heavy smoke in the area. No injuries or structural damage reported.
