THE NEWS
Sunset Beach Issues Warning About Alligators’ Mating Season
The Sunset Beach Police has warned people about alligators, which will be more visibile during their mating season. From their facebook page:
We remind our community that alligators are protected under North Carolina State Law. Alligators are dangerous animals. Do not approach them or allow children to approach them. Alligators can move very quickly over short distances.
Never feed alligators. Feeding alligators teaches them that humans are sources of food, which could lead to injury or even death. This is especially dangerous in areas where children may be present.
If you see an alligator potentially endangering human life or themselves, please call the Sunset Beach Police Department to further evaluate the situation.
Call 911 for immediate police assistance or to report someone feeding an alligator.
Book Signing in Brunswick Forest
The ban prohibits all burning within 100 feet of an occupied structure within Town limits. Due to Brunswick County’s burn ban, the same restrictions apply to unincorporated areas of the county within the Leland Fire District. For questions about the burn ban, please contact the Leland Fire/Rescue Department at (910) 371-2727.
The area is still experiencing moderate drought conditions, according to the Town of Leland. The Boiling Spring Lakes Fire is at 10% containment but currently doesn’t pose hazard at this moment, according to a WECT report.
