Firefighters responded to the 400 block of Mapleport Way before 8 p.m. for a fire at Maple Leaf Condominiums.

There were two people inside the unit — a man who was taken to the hospital in serious condition and a woman who was pronounced dead.
The woman was later identified as 28-year-old Emily Black.
Duke Energy is shutting off electricity to all condos in the building. Deimling said eight families will be displaced.
Investigators are still working to determine a cause.
