Hoke County, NC (January 24, 2025) – A tragic house fire claimed the lives of two people early Thursday morning in Hoke County. According to the Hoke County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO), deputies and fire crews responded to the 300 block of Manning Drive at approximately 3:07 AM after a call reported “potential life hazards.”

When emergency responders arrived, they found the house fully engulfed in flames. Efforts to extinguish the fire and locate the residents were immediate, but the two individuals who lived in the house could not be located initially. After the fire was contained, two bodies were discovered inside the home.

The victims have been identified as Mary Hussey, 91, and Anna Crew, 71. Family members have been notified of the tragic loss.

The Fire Marshal’s Office and the State Bureau of Investigations (SBI) are assisting the Hoke County Sheriff’s Office in determining the cause of the fire. No further details have been released at this time.

Our thoughts are with the family and loved ones of Mary Hussey and Anna Crew during this heartbreaking time.

House Fires in North Carolina

House fires are devastating events that can result in significant loss of life and property. In North Carolina, incidents like the Manning Drive fire underscore the importance of fire safety and prevention. Causes of residential fires can vary, ranging from electrical issues and cooking accidents to heating system malfunctions or arson.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), house fires are a leading cause of fire-related fatalities in the United States. Elderly individuals, such as Mary Hussey and Anna Crew, are especially vulnerable due to mobility challenges that can make evacuations difficult.

To reduce the risk of fires, homeowners are encouraged to install and maintain smoke alarms, ensure heating and electrical systems are up to date, and develop evacuation plans for all residents. Regular inspections by local fire authorities can also identify potential hazards before they become life-threatening.

For families affected by house fires, the emotional and financial toll can be overwhelming. Organizations and community resources are available to provide support, including housing assistance and grief counseling.
