Blaze destroys Aiken house on Fields Road
A Thursday afternoon fire gutted a Fields Road home in Aiken, leaving the owner unsure of the cause. Firefighters responded near 4:30 p.m. and the entire house was destroyed with its contents. The blaze spread through the middle and roof, with investigators still determining the origin. The homeowner’s daughter had been living there recently, and a refrigerator may have been the only running appliance before the outage. An Aiken Electric Cooperative worker cut power to the residence.
