Smoke seen for miles as major fire closes Kildaire Farm Road near Holly Springs

A major structure fire sending plumes of smoke into the air has shut down a major road that runs through Cary and Holly Springs.

Officials with the Town of Holly Springs confirmed Kildaire Farm Road, between the Scots Laurel neighborhood and Holly Springs Road, is currently closed due to a nearby fire.

A two-story house about 800 feet down a gravel road off the 4600 block of Kildaire Farm Road had flames coming through the roof. Smoke is reportedly visible for miles, as flames engulf the home.

A WRAL News viewer sent in drone footage of the flames, describing the scene as having "black plumes of smoke."

The fire was heavy when firefighters arrived. Crews from Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Apex and Fairview responded, as well was Wake EMS.

The fire has been put out, but crews are still working on a few hot spots. No injuries are reported at this time, and no one is known to have been inside the house; however, firefighters have not yet been able to search the entire home.

Drivers are advised to find an alternate route.

The cause of the fire is still being investigated.
