Damage is pegged at close to $1-million following a fire at the late John D Bradley near Jeannettes Creek.
Crews were called to a home on Bradley Line near Pain Court Line Tuesday around 9:30pm to find the building fully engulfed in flames.
Because of the size of the blaze, firefighters from Dover, Chatham South and Raleigh North stations took up a defensive strategy in fighting the flames.
No one was hurt, but officials are reminding all residents to ensure they have working smoke detectors in their home.
