An apartment fire in Carrboro displaced two residents and damaged a unit early Wednesday morning, but no injuries were reported by the fire department.
A release by the Town of Carrboro said members of its fire and rescue team responded overnight to a call at Berkshire 54 Apartments, which are located at 101 NC 54 Bypass, of a structure fire. Upon arrival, the firefighters found one of the apartment buildings with flames and smoke visible from one residence. Wednesday’s release said crews immediately began firefighting methods and successfully extinguished the fire in roughly 20 minutes, containing the fire damage to the lone apartment.
The damage left the residence uninhabitable, according to the town, with the two residents receiving assistance from property management and friends to find temporary housing. Initial estimates of the fire damage to the apartment and smoke damage to the breezeway are estimated to be $75,000.
The Carrboro Fire Department is continuing to investigate the cause of the blaze, according to Wednesday’s release. A total of 23 firefighters were used in the response at Berkshire 54, including crews from the Chapel Hill Fire Department, White Cross Fire Department and Orange Grove Fire Department.
