CARY, N.C. — A senior citizen died and two firefighters were injured in a Cary house fire Monday night.

Firefighters responded to the home on Dunhagan Place, located off SE Cary Parkway near U.S. 1, before 11:30 p.m.

Neighbors said the woman who lived in the home was in her 90s. They said she was not very mobile but was visited frequently by her in-laws, who live nearby.

The woman's family members had just visited her Monday evening, neighbors said, describing the woman as quiet but "sweet and kind."
