An early morning fire behind Lake Norman Charter Elementary destroyed sports equipment and is now under investigation, as fire officials search for someone seen on campus around the time of the blaze. If you recognize him in the photo below, call authorities.
Stations 1 and 4 responded to the blaze just before 7 a.m., with Engine 4 arriving first at the scene.
The fire involved an outbuilding, which was fully engulfed in flames.
The Mecklenburg County Fire Marshal’s Office and Huntersville Police are currently investigating the origin and cause of the fire. Although the fire was quickly controlled, the destruction of sports equipment is a significant loss for the school.
A white Ford F-150 was seen pulling into the school campus at about 6:12 a.m. It left at 6:50 a.m. with a stolen cement mixer in tow.
The investigation into the cause is ongoing.
