The Chapel Hill Fire Department said one person died in a house fire on the corner of Redbud Lane and Honeysuckle Road Monday morning.
The fire began before 7 a.m., and upon responding, firefighters discovered the body of one person. As of Monday, the victim’s identity or cause of death has yet to be determined by a medical examiner. The department said no other injuries have been reported as a result of the fire.
The cause of the fire has yet to be determined, and the Chapel Hill Fire Department said it is investigating.
Monday’s house fire is the latest in a string of fatal fires in the community. On Monday, May 4, a fire tore through a building at Hillmont Apartmets in Carrboro, which similarly left one person dead. In April, a Chatham County house fire resulted in the deaths of two residents.
Alongside fatal incidents, a fire in February at a Chapel Hill duplex displaced eight residents, while another fire at Carrboro’s Ashbrook apartments displaced 18 in April.
On March 28, a burn ban was put in place by the N.C. Forest Service due to dry and windy conditions. On May 4, burn bans were lifted across multiple North Carolina counties, including Orange and Chatham. Despite the lift, officials are encouraging people to exercise heightened caution.
“Although the ban has been lifted, residents are strongly urged to remain vigilant,” a release on the burn ban lift read. “Burning should be avoided during dry or windy conditions and on high fire danger days as designated by the N.C. Forest Service. All open burning must be attended at all times and is limited to natural vegetation only. Burning of trash, construction debris, or other non-vegetative materials is strictly prohibited. Residents are encouraged to prioritize safety and carefully assess weather conditions before conducting any open burning.”
