GRANITE FALLS, NC (July 21, 2018) — On Friday, July 21, 2017 an intense fire consumed one of the century old Shuford Mill buildings in downtown Granite Falls, North Carolina. The building and its contents were a complete loss. Amazingly and thankfully no one was injured, and no lives were lost.
All Caldwell County Fire Departments along with the Caldwell County Fire Marshall’s Office, Caldwell County EMS and the Granite Falls Police Department fought valiantly to fight the fire and to protect all surrounding properties and families.
