WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.-- A guy was found dead in a housefire in Winston-
Salem.
Crews were called to a house on Summit Heights Drive around 11 p.m. Monday, where they found the rear end of the two-story townhouses in flames, destructive multiple units and eliminating 76-year-old Paul Rutledge.
2 of the harmed units have substantial damage, according to Battalion Chief Jason Branch. Nevertheless, teams were able to respond quickly and reduce damage to other units.
" They extended a two-and-a-half inch attack line from one of the units in the road, that was the quickest access to it and we had the ability to get a great deal of water on the fire really rapidly that's what assisted us avoid losing the entire building," Branch said.
