Colleton County Fire-Rescue saved a mobile home on Monday, November 2nd. 911 was notified of the building fire and woods fire on Brandon Court off Hiers Corner Road. Crews arrived to find a 1-acre woods fire that spread to a single-wide mobile home. A portion of the underpinning had burned, and flames were visible under the home with smoke coming from the eaves of the structure. Firefighter-Paramedics were deployed to combat the structure fire and woods fire, which was burning close to a second mobile home on the adjacent property. Crews quickly controlled the structure fire, which was contained underneath the home. The fire damaged plumbing and insulation but did not enter the building. Crews used fans to clear the smoke from inside the home. In addition, firefighters spent approximately 30 minutes containing the woods fire. The South Carolina Forestry Commission also responded with a tractor and a Ranger. They are working to determine the cause of the woods fire. No injuries were reported during the incident.
