From staff reports
Just after 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 27, emergency crews from the Burton Fire District, Parris Island Fire and Emergency Services, Beaufort County EMS and the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to Stillwood Lane in Grays Hill. A reported mobile home fire was endangering nearby homes.
Initial reports stated it was unknown if anyone was still inside. Burton fire crews arrived on scene and found a mobile home fully engulfed in flames endangering a nearby home less than 50 feet away. The fire also involved a power pole, and was spreading into the yard of another residence.
Firefighters engaged the flames, pushing them back and away from the nearby home and quickly extinguished the fire. Fire officials learned that the mobile home was abandoned; however, firefighters still searched the debris for possible victims and confirmed it to be empty.
No injuries were reported, and fire damages were contained to the abandoned mobile home.
Burton fire investigators and the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the fire. Anyone with any information is encouraged to contact the Burton Fire District.
