From staff reports
Just before 4 p.m. Thursday, March 14, the Burton Fire District, Parris Island Fire and Emergency Services, and Beaufort County EMS and Sheriff’s Office, responded to a house fire in the Taylor Mobile Home Park on Parris Island Gateway in Burton.
The initial 911 caller stated they heard explosions and were unsure if anyone was inside.
Firefighters arrived on scene, entered the home, and simultaneously searched for victims while they extinguished the fire. While no humans were in the home, firefighters were able to rescue a dog, who was a bit skittish when removed from the home, but was doing well and happy to see his family when they arrived.
No injuries were reported. Burton fire investigators determined the fire was caused by an electrical issue.
A family of five, two adults and three children, were displaced. Red Cross was notified to assist.
