GREENSBORO, N.C. — A woman was seriously burned in a mobile home fire Wednesday in Greensboro. 

The fire was reported at the McConnell Crossing mobile home park off McConnell Road shortly before 11 a.m. 

Greensboro Fire Chief Bryant Staples said a woman in her 40s suffered burns over 90 percent of her body. 

The woman, whose name will be released pending notification of relatives, was taken to the Burn Center at UNC Chapel Hill Hospital, Staples said.

The woman’s husband was taken to Moses Cone Hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation, Staples said. 

Witnesses at the scene said a maintenance worker with the mobile home park pulled the woman from the burning home.  However, Staples said the husband may have been the one who pulled her outside. 

The cause of the blaze is still under investigation. 

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Property taxes for Greensboro residents aren’t currently changing, but city water rates could increase by 3 percent for city residents and by 7 1/2 percent for non-residents.

The rate hike is part of the $450 million budget proposed to the Greensboro City Council Monday night.

Interim City Manager Denise Roth said the proposed budget also includes cuts to infrastructure, parks and recreation, and public safety.  The City would also leave nine of its current positions open.

As a result, property taxes would not increase and the city would not downsize.

“I got a very clear indication from council that they wanted a balanced budget without raising property taxes,” Roth said.  “We committed to that… And we were able to achieve that.”

The proposed budget is not final. A public comment period will last until June 5.
