Brush fire scorches five acres along highway 118
More than 40 firefighters battled a five acre brush fire in woods along highway 118 after a homeowner left an outdoor fire unattended. The fire spread quickly due to wind and terrain. No structures were damaged. State forestry crews plowed around the blaze and dampened remaining hotspots. Traffic was diverted briefly as crews fought the flames. DHEC will investigate and may fine the homeowner for burning household garbage. No injuries reported.
