Colleton County Fire-Rescue

3/10/2009

Stations 4, 5, 7, 17 and 18 responded to a structure fire at 2813 Drain Road in the Johnsville Community Tuesday evening, 10-March at 2124. Two people passing by saw the fire and alerted 9-1-1. They then stopped and went to assist. No one was at home in the doublewide mobile home so the two men located a garden hose and began spraying water on the fire. They were able to keep the flames in check until Engine 7 arrived to overhaul the burned wall and floor with an 1-3/4 hand line. The fire was contained to the front wall and a portion of the floor near the front door. Units were on the scene for about an hour. SLED is assisting in the investigation and were on scene Wednesday morning. There were no injuries reported.

Engine 5, Engine 7, Engine 17, Tender 4, Tender 5, Tender 7, Tender 17, Tender 18, Medic 18, and Battalion 1 responded. Engineer-Paramedic Paul Harrleson served as Incident Commander.
