Personnel from Shepherds, Mooresville, Mount Mourne, Troutman, Lake Norman, Denver and Sherrills Ford fire departments were dispatched to a report of a structure fire in the area of Whippoorwill Road about 11:09 a.m. on Wednesday. Responding units were advised that a controlled burn in a fire pit was out of control and spreading to the structure.

Shepherds Engine 2 was first on scene and transmitted a working structure fire along the wood line in the rear of the homes. Crews extinguished the fire, which destroyed an outbuilding and damaged adjoining property. No injuries were reported. The Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of the fire.
