VIDEO: Firefighters battled a two-alarm house fire Thursday in a neighborhood southeast of the U.S. Route 64 and N.C. Highway 55 interchange. The second alarm was sounded around 11:45 a.m. for the fire in the 1100 block of Blackburn Road. By 1:30 p.m., the flames had been extinguished but a CBS 17 crew on the scene reported heavy damage to the home. An elderly couple who lives in the home made it out alive thanks to a neighbor. “All I was thinking about was getting them out of there before they burn up because the flames were engulfing very very fast,” said Eldrice Murphy. Murphy and his daughter April were headed to the store when she saw the smoke. “I could tell that it was my neighbor’s house that were an older couple that move slow so my heart instantly sank to the bottom of my stomach,” April Murphy said.
