 Home in Kill Devil Hills is a total loss after it caught fire. Neighbor Christina Clements told WWAY. The heat was so intense. I mean, even two doors away, we were extremely hot. I mean, just feeling the heat while the house next was melting. Thanks to all the heat and humidity, many of us are finding some unwanted guests in our homes. Exterminators say pests are also looking for a reprieve from the hot weather and are seeking refuge inside the homes.
