CALABASH—Six months after a devastating fire, Capt. John's Seafood House is getting ready to re-open soon.

The fourth-generation eatery on the Calabash waterfront sustained major damages after a fire attributed to a faulty fish-tank light broke out when the eatery was closed on the night of Nov. 30.

A team of workers was busy Thursday painting the exterior of the restored eatery and readying the inside, which looks much the same as it did previously, but with new furnishings and light fixtures.

SUPPLY—There was smoke in the air last Friday night, and it was on purpose.

Area firemen set fire to a home off of Coastal Drive in Supply as a part of a live burn training exercise.

The house, donated to the county for training purposes, was in the Supply fire district. Prior to burning the house, firefighters extensively prepared the site for the burn. The house had to be stripped and inspected for asbestos, and all items were removed. Hay and wood were used to fuel the fires.
