Eagle Bay house consumed by fire

Eagle Bay, Inlet, and Old Forge fire companies responded to a fire call in Eagle Bay on
May 1. When firefighters arrived at the scene, the camp on Eagle Point Road was already fully involved, said Assistant Fire Chief Shane Beach, who was running the call.
“It was rolling pretty good by the time we got there,” said Beach.
The fire was reported by a neighbor across Fourth Lake who could see flames shooting into the sky, Beach said.
The seasonal camp, owned by Dick Ouderkirk, was totally consumed by the fire and a house on the north side of the camp was damaged by the heat of the blaze. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
