The Kinston Fire and Rescue Department responded to a fire in a two-story home that had been adapted into apartments at 800 W Lenoir Avenue. The fire had been broken up into three different apartments. 

Crews arrived and found the fire in the wall due to the window A/C unit catching fire. There were no injuries. Three residents will be displaced due to having to secure the power.
