Brunswick County Government listed its address as 30 Government Center Drive NE, Bolivia, NC 28422. For anyone near the affected roads, the practical takeaway is to follow the county’s next update cycle rather than assume the situation has stabilized just because the first notice was posted.
The unresolved question is simple: how large was the wildfire and what level of containment had been reached as of July 11, 2026?
