The foxes were found on Fernwood, Kreamer and West White drives. The people who were bitten are being treated, the department reports.

North Carolina law requires that all domestic pets, whether living inside or outside, aged four months or older, be vaccinated for rabies. Animals that are confined in outdoor fenced areas should also have current rabies vaccinations.
