CLAYTON – A weekend blaze that tore through a Clayton-area home is now under investigation by the Johnston County Fire Marshal’s Office.
According to Johnston County Fire Marshal Travis Johnson, the fire broke out Saturday evening at a residence located at 141 Redbud Drive.
Johnston County 911 received the first report of the structure fire at 6:39 p.m. Clayton, Cleveland, and Wilson’s Mills fire departments were immediately dispatched.
The first arriving unit from Clayton Fire Department immediately declared a working fire. With no fire hydrants available in the immediate area, crews requested a tanker task force to haul in additional water.

There has been 3 home fires in Clayton this week. Is it the same builder ?
Builders take the blame for a lot , but in no way homeowner stupidity .
If you for some reason don’t want to believe homeowners and tenants intentionally disable smoke detectors vs change a battery you may need to take your blinders off. Ask any property manager, fire investigator or insurance claims representative .
