GRASS BURNING ON KITTY HAWK BAY ISLANDS

Marsh grass on two small, uninhabited islands in Kitty Hawk Bay just north of Colington caught fire Monday night.

Firefighters kept a watch on the blazes, which brightened the night, but did not try to extinguish them, saying they posed no threat to people or property.

The cause of the fires was not immediately determined. by CNB
