Lightning Monday afternoon ignited a 105-acre fire in the Tiger Point area of Black Hammock Island.

The fire at Cedar Point & Pumpkin Hill Road started at 4:30 p.m. and was contained at 10:43 p.m. June 16, according to a press release this morning from the state Division of Forestry.

The nearest structure was more that 600 yards from the fire and no damages or injuries were reported.

Firefighters had some difficulty suppressing the fire due to the thick pine plantation it was burning in and the changes in wind direction brought on by the sea breeze.
