RALEIGH, N.C. — A fire was burning at a northeast Raleigh home for a second night in a row late Sunday.

Raleigh firefighters responded to the home, located in the 4200 block of Forestville Road, around 11:30 p.m. They worked into the early morning hours, and WRAL Brett Knese said the roof of the home had collapsed when he arrived at the scene around 1:30 a.m. on Monday.

Crews at the scene told WRAL News everyone made it out of the house safely, but one firefighter was taken to the hospital for heat exhaustion. No details about the cause of the fire were provided.

Before WRAL News arrived on Monday, a viewer sent cell phone video he captured from his car, parked nearby, showing flames shooting into the air.

Firefighters were also at the scene Saturday night, but according to video captured by the WRAL Breaking News Tracker, that fire didn't appear to cause a lot of visible damage.
