FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina (WTVD) -- Two fires less than an hour apart Saturday damaged an apartment and townhomes in Fayetteville.

Firefighters responded to the Townes at Northridge Park subdivision off Country Club Drive just before 1 p.m.

When they arrived, they saw flames shooting from the front of the two-story building. Everyone got outside safely; no one was hurt.

The cause of that fire remains under investigation.

The other fire was reported less than an hour later at the Margarita Villa Apartments off Tally Ho Drive.
