A house fire in Woodleaf that broke out just before 3 a.m. Sunday left two residents displaced but the American Red Cross local branch was able to help them with housing.
The Scotch-Irish Fire Department responded to a report of a house fire at 281 Triton Lane at 2:43 a.m. According to fire officials fire was showing from the house when they arrived, and the wood-frame home was a total loss. The fire reignited Sunday afternoon but the loss was already complete. No one was injured in the electrical fire.
A house fire that broke out in the bedroom of a home on Midlake Avenue in Kannapolis about 5 p.m Sunday afternoon also caused extensive damage to the home and left one displaced. Red Cross was also able to help that resident, who was not home at the time the fire broke out. It appears to also be electrical in nature but an exact cause has not been pinpointed.
