The Robeson County wildfires started to spread around 10 a.m. Saturday, Big Marsh Fire Chief Alex Inman told ABC11.
The fires destroyed an abandoned trailer and a barn between Oakland Road and Ballance Farm Road.
North Carolina Forestry Services, two airplanes, a helicopter, four bulldozers and 10 local fire departments were needed to extinguish the raging fires.
Inman said the fires weren't under control until 10:30 p.m.
The fires were set intentionally, Inman said. NC Forestry is handling the investigation and looking into suspects.
