FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Officials say a house fire that injured two people in Fayetteville Sunday was started intentionally.

Around 10:45 p.m., officials with the Fayetteville Fire Department responded to a fire at 2949 Ramsey St.

Firefighters quickly extinguished the flames, which originated in a bedroom.

One occupant of the home was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation, and a firefighter was transported to the Cape Fear Valley Medical Center with non-life threatening burns.

All occupants in the home had evacuated before firefighters arrived, officials say.

The fire damaged two bedrooms, totaling damages of $55,000, and authorities say it was started intentionally. The investigation has been turned over to the Fayetteville Police Department.
