Working smoke alarms made the difference in a North Wilkesboro house fire this week, with crews highlighting how the early warning helped residents escape safely. Today will be pleasant with highs near 84°F and good air quality, making it a nice day to get out and about. If you're looking for entertainment, Gladys Knight is performing at the Schaefer Center, or catch the Lexington County Blowfish taking on the Boone Bigfoots at Beaver Field tonight.
