From staff reports

The Burton and Sheldon Fire Districts, MCAS Fire & Emergency Services, and BeaufortCounty EMS and Sheriff’s Office, responded to a structure fire on Delaney Circle in Seabrook early Tuesday afternoon, June 11.

Just past 1 p.m., emergency crews responded to a structure fire on Delaney Circle in Seabrook after a neighbor saw smoke coming from under the building. Fire crews arrived on scene to a modified mobile home with fire underneath the structure and extending up through the wall.

After searching the building and finding it empty, firefighters were able to cut the fire off as it spread up through the wall while another crew crawled underneath the structure to cut a hole in the floor and extinguish the seat of the fire.

While the fire was quickly brought under control and extinguished, limiting fire damages to the floor and adjacent wall, there was smoke damage throughout the structure.

The fire is under investigation.
