BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) – A million-dollar vacation home in Oak Island is a total loss after flames burned it Monday night.

The Oak Island Fire Department was called to the two-story home on West Beach Drive just before 10:40 p.m.

Carl Barbour was in town checking on his beach home when he saw the flames coming from his neighbor's house.

"Flames were coming out of the roof and the wind was really bad and it looked like it was going to go to the neighboring two houses," he said.

Barbour says him and his family couldn't do much but watch as firefighters attempted to get the fire under control.

"We pulled up three chairs on the porch and unfortunately we had a good view of it," said Barbour. "It was just very, very scary."

Firefighters from numerous agencies managed to get the fire under control.  Fire officials say no other homes were damaged after their three hour battle with the flames.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) – An early morning fire on Bald Head Island destroyed a vacation home.

According to the Bald Head Island Chief of Public Safety, the fire sparked Wednesday morning around 5:00. Public Safety Chief Chip Munna, Jr. said bad lightning storms rolled through the area early in the morning, which may have sparked the blaze.

Munna said someone who lives across from the house saw flames pouring through the roof from across the marsh.

According to the Village of Bald Head Island officials, the fire was fully involved when crews arrived on scene. Firefighters from both Oak Island and Yaupon Beach helped to contain the fire within about an hour.

No one was inside the house at the time of the fire because it was a second/vacation property. The couple who owns the home reportedly lives in New Jersey.

Investigators are still looking into the fire but do not believe it's suspicious in nature.
