Colleton County Fire-Rescue
4/14/2010
Stations 5, 9, 11, 19, 26
and 27 responded to a house fire at 15299 Round O Road at 1417, Wednesday
14-April. Engine 19 arrived within 8 minutes, but found the singlewide
mobile completely on the ground. A one acre woods fire was also burning.
Firefighters deployed two 1-3/4 handlines to combat the fires and
extinguish the remains of the mobile home. Water supply was handled by
tenders. The home owner told firefighters he was burning off some copper
when the fire got away from him and spread into the nearby woods. He
attempted to extinguish the fire with buckets of water, but it moved too
fast and reached the mobile home. Firefighters had to remove the metal
roof to reach the burning debris. Units were on the scene for
approximately 1-1/2 hours. Engine 11, Engine 19, Engine 26, Tender 5, Tender 19, Tender 27, Medic 19 and Battalion 1 responded. Lt. Joey Campbell served as Incident Commander.
