 Rekindled fire destroys remaining structure web posted January 31, 2008  MERRIWETHER – A fire
at a home on Royal
Place Tuesday night brought Merriwether and County Line
Firefighters
back to the scene on Wednesday morning when flames returned just before
8 am. The Tuesday night fire left the unoccupied home, that had no
power connected, severely damaged when firefighters left the scene
after hours of watering down the remains largely left intact. When the
first units arrived Wednesday the flames were rolling out of the
remaining structure.The flames reached not only into the roofline, which quickly spread the breadth of the doublewide mobile home, but also underneath melting the underground power lines. Even though there was no meter connected to the home, once the protective casings of the power lines were exposed the lines began to arc causing firefighters to summon South Carolina electric and Gas to the scene.  While firefighters
continued to battle the growing fire aided by high winds, SCE&G
workers tried to isolate the lot so not to disrupt service to nearby
homes. Fire crews remained on the scene until approximately noon Wednesday extinguishing the remaining structure. The initial cause of the fire is still under investigation. The home has been unoccupied for over ten years and had only recently been purchased, a fire official said. ©
