Fire crews responded to the first house at 141 Juneberry Court at about 4:20 p.m. on reports of the fire, which appears to have started in the roof of the single-story home, fire Capt. Barry Stallard said.
Stallard said the wooden roof collapsed into the single-family house and it appears to be a complete loss.
That fire was controlled at about 5:15 p.m.
However, the wind apparently blew an ember from the home on Juneberry Court about a block away, starting another fire at 128 Sugar Maple Drive, Stallard said.
The wooden roof of that home was "pretty much fully involved" in flames at about 5:10 p.m., according to Stallard, who said that fire was controlled at 5:36 p.m.
A firefighter suffered a back injury while combating the second blaze and was transported to a local hospital, Stallard said. Additionally, a wheelchair-bound resident of a neighboring home suffered some smoke inhalation.
Firefighters managed to rescue a black Labrador retriever from the home.
Stallard said both homes appeared to be complete losses and estimated damage at about $400,000 to each home.
The American Red Cross responded to assist displaced residents.
