Abstract:

On April 4, 1985, there were 189 fires burning throughout North Carolina. Prolonged drought, warm temperatures, and high winds were contributing factors. On April 6, the Pungo fire broke out in Washington, Hyde, and Tyrrell Counties and burned almost 100,000 acres. Taylor describes the fire and its effect on wildlife.
