From staff reports
Early Sunday afternoon, the Burton Fire District, MCAS Fire Department, Beaufort County EMS, and the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office responded to a house fire on Ramsey Road in Burton, which caused the displacement of the residents.
Just before 1 p.m., emergency crews responded to a reported house fire. Firefighters arrived on scene to find smoke coming from an elevated single-wide mobile home.
Firefighters made entry into the residence and extinguished a fire that was located in a bedroom. A search of the home confirmed no one was home at the time.
While the fire was confined to the bedroom, the home suffered smoke damage throughout and power had to be secured. One of the displaced residents is a Navy veteran.
No injuries have been reported. While the cause of the fire appears to be electrical, it remains under investigation at this time.
