Sardis-Timmonsville Fire Department was called out to a single family dwelling mobile home for a fire in the bedroom.  ST-2 arrived on scene and took command. Smoke showing from the back window of the home. Engine 411, Engine 441, Tanker 416, and Tanker 426 responded to the scene.  The family was outside of the residence. One family member closed the door to the bedroom before leaving the home and that helped to keep the fire contained to one room. One team made entry through the front door and found heavy smoke and small fire in the front bedroom. The team was able to put the fire out and keep most of the damage contained to one room of the home.

Sardis-Timmonsville fire department was called to a brush fire off Brockington St. Engine 411 arrived on scene followed by Brush 415. ST-7 took command of the scene and reported to dispatch 3 acres were on fire at that time. Tanker 446 arrived on scene. ST-1 arrived on scene and took over command. Forestry was notified to respond with a plow due to multiple acres burning and limited access for fire trucks to gain access to the areas burning. Due to dry conditions and the wind, the fire quickly spread to consume multiple acres and into the near by woods.          .

At approximately 0410 this morning central dispatch alerted Sardis-Timmonsville to a vehicle fire at Ard Trucking on Alligator rd. While en route the information was updated to 2 trucks on fire inside the shop area. ST-1 arrived to find thick black smoke showing from all sides of the commercial structure. Engine 421 arrived and an aggressive interior attack was begun in near zero visibility conditions. Using a thermal imaging camera, the fire was located about 150 feet inside the building, and was extinguished. Both trucks were a total loss but multiple other vehicles in the building were not harmed. The building sustained smoke and heat damage.
Units on scene: Engine 421, Engine 411, Tanker 426, Service 418, Command 410, Command 420. Chief Jeff Dennis was Incident Commander.
Great job by the volunteers of Sardis-Timmonsville.
