Halifax County authorities say a fire death appears to be an accident.
They're now awaiting autopsy results to figure out how a man died while burning brush Friday.
Officials say the fire started shortly after three o'clock at Neal's Corner Road in Clover.
78-year-old *James Wilburn* was found dead after the fire was put out.
Preliminary investigations show Wilburn fell and broke his leg -- and was unable to escape as the fire spread.

Now many states have EXTRA vaccine -- no shortage at all.
One reason is because people took to heart that the supply should be saved for those most in need.
But it was still a good year for the business.
More than a third of the high risk group got the jab, and now clinics are asking the government to lift restrictions on who can get one, and the C-D-C agrees.
That's because more than 30-thousand Americans die from the flu each year - 200-thousand are hospitalized.
