Brush fire threatens house

Posted on April 8, 2010 by Staff

Firefighters from the Carrboro, New Hope and Orange Grove fire departments responded to a vehicle and brush fire in the Rogers Road neighborhood on Saturday.

The fire, which originated at 1806 Purefoy Road, broke out around 4 p.m. Saturday after a vehicle fire spread to nearby woods. Although the fire came very close to a house, no structures were damaged and no one was hurt. The crew was able to extinguish the fire after being on the scene for about two hours.

The National Weather Service issued warning of increased fire danger this week due to the unseasonably warm temperatures and low humidity levels.
