The South Augusta Flea Market,1652 Doug Barnard Parkway, is on fire and flames have spread to the nearby woods.

Augusta-Richmond County Fire Department Lt. Neal Brown said the entire market is on fire and the thick black smoke rising from the burn is because of the old wood the market was built from.

Officers have shut down Doug Barnard Parkway since firefighters received the 10:22 a.m. call.
