BURTON, S.C. (WSAV) – Two different fires in Burton threatened homes on Wednesday and Thursday, pushing fire officials to educate the public on safe debris-burning practices.
According to Assistant Fire Chief Daniel Byrne, Burton Fire responded to 30 brush fires, 42 trash fires and 26 unsafe yard debris fires in 2024. He says many, if not all, of these could have been avoided.
“Both of these fires we had this week, they were very, very lucky that we didn’t lose homes,” Byrne said…
