Arson Suspected in Friday Fire

Arson is suspected in a fire that destroyed a home on Brady Plantation Road in Bladen County Friday.

Acme Delco Riegelwood Fire Chief Steve Camlin said his department was called out as mutual aid to the blaze. Carver’s Creek was the lead department on the fire, with assistance from ADR, Lisbon and Buckhead responded.

ADR sent its Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS) truck as well as an engine and a tanker. Buckhead, Lisbon and ADR supplied water. The home was roughly 50 percent engulfed when firefighters arrived, Camlin said.

The fire is being investigated as a possible arson.
