Colleton County Fire-Rescue units returning to their station from a previous response on Sunday, March 2nd, observed a thick column of black smoke several miles away in the distance. They Medic 18 notified Battalion 1 that they would be attempting to locate the source of the smoke. After approximately ten minutes, they found a fully involved doublewide mobile home at the end of Valiant Lane south of Sniders Crossroads. The home was at the dead end of the small dirt road about a 1/4 of a mile off Scuffletown Road. Firefighter-Paramedics deployed multiple handlines to the building. The fire had been burning for quite some time and most of the building had already collapsed. The home was not occupied. It appeared the fire originated from a woods fire in the area. No injuries were reported.
