18/July/2018 – Structure Fire – “B” Shift

Incident # 18-04945 – A doublewide mobile was destroyed in an early morning fire at 938 Mars Oldfield Road Wednesday morning 18-July. Fire-Rescue HQ was notified of the incident by person from out of town Wednesday morning. The man reported a neighbor called him advising the residence had burn down earlier in the morning. Units arrived a short time later to find the structure completely destroyed and almost burned out. Crews extinguished several hot spots and requested the SLED Arson Team to respond. The home had no power and several circumstances appeared suspicious, including why neighbors did not notify 9-1-1 several hours earlier when they saw the fire. The Colleton County Sheriff’s Office and SLED are investigating the incident. Units were on the scene for about five hours. Anyone with information concerning the fire are urged to call the Sheriff’s Office at (843) 549-2211, the SLED Arson Hotline at (800) 922-7766 or Fire-Rescue Headquarters at (843) 539-1960.

Engine 5, Engine 9, Tender 9, Tender 9, Tender 36, Medic 9 and Battalion 1 responded. Battalion Chief Brent Dalton served as Incident Commander.
