Firefighters contained a woods fire in Fayetteville after about three hours Monday afternoon, authorities said.

<b>FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.</b> — Firefighters contained a woods fire in Fayetteville after about three hours Monday afternoon, authorities said.

An ember from a house fire on Siesta Circle jumped across Horseshoe Road, sparking a fire that burned about 10 acres before firefighters could bring it under control, authorities said.

Firefighters kept the blaze from moving across Yadkin Road into a busy commercial district.

Authorities said windy conditions were making the fires more difficult to fight.

Fort Bragg closed its gate at Yadkin Road, and authorities closed the thoroughfare to northbound traffic for several hours because smoke had created hazardous conditions.

Several Cumberland County fire departments deployed trucks and men to help the Fayetteville Fire Department battle the fires.

Friday, June 2, 2023 -- Forty years ago a national commission issued a blistering report entitled "A Nation at Risk."  It cited a "rising tide of mediocrity" in the country's schools and declared the failure to provide high quality education "threatens our very future as a Nation and a people." North Carolina leaders took this warning to heart. They began investing heavily in public education and even became a model for other states. The state was making progress toward fulfilling its obligation under the North Carolina Constitution to provide a sound, basic education for all students. The situation started to change in 2012 when Republicans came to power and began an assault on public education that continues to this day. When it comes to public education, North Carolina is now "A State at Risk."
