Stations 24, 1,
19, 12 and 27 responded to a well involved dwelling fire at 311 Seventh
Street Sunday morning 14-September at 0551. Medic and Tanker 27 arrived
to report heavy fire conditions from the "B" side of the
singlewide mobile home. Crews used one 1-3/4 hand line from Tanker 27 to
begin knocking down the fire. Engine 19 arrived a short time later and
deployed a second 1-3/4 handline. Crews made an interior attack on the
fire and quickly brought the flames under control. Interior crews exited
the building to allow exterior crews to finish the job.
Approximately 50%
of the interior was destroyed. Firefighters stopped the spread of the
fire at the center of the home, saving many items from the "D"
side of the structure. No one was at home at the time of the fire.
Investigators determined the fire started in the area of the bed in the
master bedroom and contacted SLED's Arson Unit. One SLED Agent responded
to the scene. Colleton Fire Investigators and SLED remained on the scene
until 1300 Sunday. The cause of the fire was determined to be
electrical nature. No injuries were reported.
