She added, “It spread very slowly, it started from one end until the whole island was submerged, it looked volcanic, it’s sad that there is a lot of wildlife on that island, there are white-tailed eagles, oysters, a lot of bird’s nests on that island I might have I smell smoke, it was the smell of burning wood, you might see it in the air, it was a really red glow “.
Ms Hopton said the fire lasted for 5 to 6 hours before she finally fell asleep following midnight.
