Hundreds of dead fish have been washed off a North Carolina highway by the fire department after they were left stranded when Florence flood waters receded.
The Penderlea Fire Department hosed the dead fish off the Interstate 40 near Wallace on Saturday.
The fish washed up on the interstate last week when Hurricane Florence pummeled the area and caused widespread flooding.
When the flood waters eventually began to recede, the fish became stranded and died.

Hundreds of dead fish have been washed off the I40 in North Carolina by the fire department after they were left stranded when Florence flood waters receded

'We can add 'washing fish off of the interstate' to the long list of interesting things firefighters get to experience,' the fire department wrote on Facebook.
'This is on a stretch of I40 in Pender County North Carolina near Wallace. Hurricane Florence caused massive flooding in our area and allowed the fish to travel far from their natural habitat, stranding them on the interstate when waters receded.'
The stretch of highway where the fish were found was still closed on Saturday.
It is among the 500 roads across North Carolina that remain closed following the deadly hurricane.

Parts of I40 and I95 are expected to remain under water for another week or more as major flooding remains in parts of of eastern North Carolina more than a week after Florence made landfall.
Gov. Roy Cooper said Saturday that nine of the state's river gauges are at major flood stage and four others are at moderate stage.
Emergency management officials said residents whose homes were damaged or destroyed will begin moving into hotel rooms next week.
'Hurricane Florence has deeply wounded our state, wounds that will not fade soon as the flood waters finally recede,' Cooper said.
South Carolina also has ordered more evacuations as rivers continue to rise in the aftermath of a storm that has claimed at least 43 lives since slamming into the coast more than a week ago.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
