Quick action of firefighters is being credited for saving an apartment complex in Goldsboro from total destruction Monday morning. Around 11:20 a.m. City of Goldsboro firemen responded with Engine Companies 1,2 and 4 along with Ladder 1 to the working structure fire at the intersection of Maple and Claiborne Streets. Heavy smoke was billowing from an apartment facing Maple Street. An engine company dropped a 5-inch supply line to an engine on the scene so firemen could extinguish the blaze. The fire was contained to the apartment the blaze originally started in. Fire officials say about 15% of the structure was damaged. The fire is believed to have started near a kitchen stove. The woman who lives in the apartment, Angela Lloyd, escaped and was not hurt. The apartment complex is managed by the Goldsboro Housing Authority.
