Is the flame still coming up . Right now on wncn, several buildings destroyed, and crews on scene for hours battling a fouralarm fire. Good evening and thanks for staying up with us. Im maggy newland. Crews were on the scene of the fouralarm fire in sanford nearly all day. It started in a cabinetry shop and rapidly spread to another business right next to several homes. Wncns Carly Griffith explains why it took so long to get the fires under control. Two businesses were lost in a fire that took multiple crews hours to tame, and now these families are left to pick up the pieces from this devastating blaze. There were flames shooting out of the back of the roof so it was pretty well involved around noon, crews from sanford and surrounding areas were called. Fire chief said the flame started there and quickly worked their way through a storage book shop next door. We feel theres a lot of contributing factors with the age of the building, age of the wiring and materials that were stored in there, the wood, sawdust, lack of thinner, stains, that type stuff the owner was out of town at the time of the fire. Residents say the shop had been there for decades. Been there for 41 years, and his whole life is pretty much in there or was. Its been pretty active in the community for several a long time. The owner of the comic book shop lived in his store with his wife. He did not want to speak to us on camera but said they lost around 60,000 comics but are just glad no one was hurt. I dont know what happened or why. I dont know. But im very sorry to see that happen. Neighbor mirelda creature watched the fire from her home next door. Seems like the more water that the Fire Department was spraying on the fire, it was the fire was just getting bigger. It seemed like the water wouldnt put the fire out. The fire, such a risk and so point, crews had to kill electricity to power lines around the scene. Had to have power, kill the power along the both streets because, like i say, we had an aerial here, plus we had our people working, and those lines, we just couldnt take the chance. We had to kill it. Fire officials are still concerned about hot spots at this fire site. They will be watching the scene overnight to make sure that another fire doesnt start again. In sanford, Carly Griffith, wncn news now. Another Fire Investigation is underway tonight. This one in raleigh. You can see firefighters atat the home on carver street. Were told one person went to the hospital for smoke inhalation. No word at this point on what caused the fire. The man charged in connection with a deadly crash overnight in fayetteville is expected to make his First Court Appearance tomorrow. Police say 21yearold bruce guzman was drunk when he ran off the road just before 2 00 this morning. It happened on strikland bridge road. One of the passengers, 20yearold anna hogg, died. Another person in the car was after weeks of speculation, the Carolina Hurricanes made the official announcement this afternoon. Erik stall is headed to new york to play with the rangers. The veteran captain has played with the hurricanes for more than ten years. In the trade for stall, the canes acquired center alexi. Stall leaves the hurricanes during alltime leader in North Carolina history in games played, goals, assists, points, hat tricks, penalty minutes, power play goals, shorthanded goals and gamewinning goals. Of course, he was also here to win the stanley cup. Many hope this move is a good one for stall and the kings. Willing to weigh them. I mean, he didnt have to do that. He did that in order to allow us to do this, and, you know, we feel it gives us some Building Blocks to continue to move forward in the direction we want to go. Its what theyre paid to do is make those kind of hard decisions, and sad to see him go. Actually, but it hopefully itll be the best thing for him the canes will not name a new captain this season.

You can see a few clouds from kentucky into tennessee. Theyll climb over the mountains and kind of break up into our dry air, but be flowing tomorrow, so well see a few clouds and go mostly to partly sunny as opposed to todays sunny.

It still looks like a morning through middaytype front where well see some scattered showers. Amounts should be under a half inch, and there might even be a little isolated thunder there. So that could occur south of the triangle. Were not looking for any Severe Weather outbreak. Here you go tomorrow morning. Here comes that front. A couple clouds with it, then it moves through. High pressure, westerly breeze, very dry conditions. Then as we head into tuesday morning, back down to the low 40s with light and variable winds then this high will give us another southwest flow on tuesday. Going to be mild again. Wednesday, yeah, youll go out the door kind of wet wednesday morning then as wednesday afternoon comes in, some cooler breezes out of the northwest will flow in. Be a little breezy but dry out very quick. The forecast 68 in san ford, 69 in fail vil. 68 smithfield, 68 wilson, 68 raleigh and durham and lewisburg. Henderson 67. Roxboro 66 degrees. You saw the winds out of the west 5 to 12 miles per hour. So tomorrow, 50. 40 minutes away from becoming cbs so well see that tomorrow as you watch your new programming. 68 degrees. Partly sunny skies at times, but then sun late in the day so itll be clear tomorrow night. 42, and then on tuesday, well see 68 degrees. Wednesday, theres that 50 chance so lets explore that. Scattered showers in the morning. Maybe at noontime, but i think by drive time, things will be clearing out. Little cooler than the next two days. Holding in the 50s, getting up to 60, but those hourlies there in the 50s. Then thursday, we quickly clear out, and were partly cloudy. 55. Friday, another low pressure system is going to skirt to our south so well keep an eye on that to give us a chance of rain. Itll be chilly in the morning. Upper 30s, low to mid 40s. Thatll be quite a change. Thatll be kind of like the lows we are going to have tonight, and then saturday, were clearing out. 49. Next sunday, 54 degrees with partly cloudy skies.
