Fire officials at Pilot Mountain learned the cause of the fire that continues to burn, marking five days of flames atop the North Carolina landmark.
Officials say the cause is a campfire in an undesignated area. There is no info at this time on the party responsible for the campfire.
As of Wednesday afternoon, about 1,050 acres of the 3,800-acre park have burned.
The fire is 50% contained.
The Sauratown Mountain fire is 100% contained. There was a re-kindle in the middle of the containment lines that crews put out.
Weather is still a concern for fire officials with warmer temperatures coming in.
The Mayor of Pilot Mountain, Evan Cockerham, posted on Facebook Sunday evening that the dry forecast for the next few days is contributing to the spread of the flames.
