âIt moved pretty rapidlyâ: School building heavily damaged after fire breaks through ceiling Fire causes total loss for Southport Christian School By Elly Cosgrove | May 7, 2021 at 6:20 PM EDT - Updated May 7 at 7:30 PM Southport, N.C. (WECT) - A school building at Southport Christian School looks to be a total loss after a fire started in the ceiling. âA lot of damage in the fire area â those four rooms. And it did push through the entire attic it looks like â so with the water damage and the smoke damage itâs probably unfortunately going to be a total loss, but I canât make that determination,â said Assistant Fire Chief Todd Coring of the Southport Fire Department.
