RALEIGH, North Carolina (WTVD) -- Raleigh firefighters responding to a house fire Friday evening removed a woman in her 60s from the burning home. She was taken to WakeMed. Her condition was not immediately known.

It happened shortly before 6:15 p.m. in the 3900 block of Huntleigh Drive. A neighbor across the street saw smoke and called authorities.
