Raleigh firefighters rescue two women

The fire broke out in one of the center condominium of a building in the 8000 block of Brown Bark Place at 3:09 a.m. Flames engulfed half the roof of that unit when crews arrived.

Firefighters pulled out two women from separate condos, including one moments before her unit's roof collapsed.

"It's a tragedy for these folks," Division Chief Rusty Styrons said. "We're so glad and proud of our folks that they were able to get in there and apply their training and do their job, and we're feeling pretty good about that right now."

The cause of the fire was electrical, sparked by an overloaded circuit in the wall of the 55-year-old woman's living room, officials said on Saturday afternoon.
