GOLDSBORO, N.C. — Firefighters with the Goldsboro Fire Department quickly contained a blaze Tuesday night that broke out at a home on North Oleander Avenue, preventing the fire from spreading beyond the room where it started.
Crews were dispatched at 9:12 p.m. on November 11, 2025, and arrived on scene five minutes later to find smoke and flames showing from the first floor of a two-story single-family home.
Firefighters launched an aggressive interior attack, successfully holding the fire to its room of origin. Three adults were able to escape the home safely before crews arrived, and no injuries were reported.
Investigators determined the fire was accidentally caused by heat from a wood stove igniting nearby materials.
A total of 15 personnel responded from Engines 1, 4, and 5, along with Tower-1 and Car-2. Firefighters remained on scene until 10:44 p.m. to assist residents and complete salvage and investigation efforts.
The Goldsboro Police Department, Wayne County EMS, and Duke Energy also assisted at the scene.
