From staff reports
Early Sunday morning, Nov. 16, the Burton Fire District, MCAS Fire & Emergency Services, and Beaufort County EMS and Sheriff’s Office, responded once again to a house fire on Craig Lane in Grays Hill.
Just after midnight, emergency crews responded to a reported house fire on Craig Lane in Grays Hill after a frantic neighbor called 911 to report the blaze. The neighbor stated that she had banged on the door to check if anyone was inside but there was no response.
Firefighters arrived on scene to find heavy flames coming from a double-wide mobile home. Due to the amount of fire, fire crews had to battle the fire from outside until being able to enter the home to search for victims. Crews made a quick search of the residence due to the structure being unstable and found it unoccupied.
The home appeared to be under remodeling after a fire at the same residence in October in which the residents had extinguished a fire prior to the fire department’s arrival. That fire was believed to have been caused by an electrical issue.
Both fires remain under investigation. No injuries were reported.
