At 11:40 Sunday morning 15-December, a US Postal employee delivering packages saw smoke coming from the roof and windows of a home in the 200 block of Gadsden Loop in Colleton County SC. She immediately notified the Sheriff’s Office.
Colleton County (SC) Fire-Rescue Engine 1 arrived minutes later to find smoke coming from the roof and eaves of the single-story, brick veneer structure. Firefighter-Paramedics forced open the front door and entered with one handline. They found the kitchen on fire with extension into the attic. A second handline was deployed to the rear of the house. Crews quickly had the fire under control.
While searching the home for any occupants, they found three unconscious large pit bulls. Firefighters rescued the animals and brought them to the front yard where they began resuscitative efforts on the animals, using Fido Bags which are carried on all Colleton County Fire-Rescue ambulances. The Fido Bags contain specialized equipment to administer care to canines during times of emergency. Two of the animals responded to the care and after about 30 minutes regained consciousness. Within 45 minutes, the two surviving dogs were able to stand on their own.
Sadly the third dog did not survive, but a fourth, very small dog was discovered alive during overhaul operations. This dog did not appear to have suffered any ill effects from the fire. All of the dogs were turned over to Animal Services officers. The home suffered heat and smoke damage. The fire was contained to the area of the kitchen and the attic above the kitchen. Most personal items and the remainder of the home was saved but received smoke damage. The fire started on the stove. No one was at home when the fire occurred. Units were on the scene for two hours.
Postal workers find many fires while in the performance of their duties. In addition to delivering our mail, they are in our neighborhoods daily and are able to report things that are not normal. The actions of this carrier resulted in saving three dogs and prevented the destruction of the home.

A single-family dwelling was destroyed in an early morning fire in the 4800 block of Hudson Mill Road in Colleton County SC, Thanksgiving morning 28-November.
At 07:17, a passing motorist called 9-1-1 reporting a well-involved building on fire. Colleton County Fire-Rescue Engine 18 arrived to find the wood-frame residential structure fully-involved. A two car garage located approx. 50 feet behind the home was also on fire, as well as a pickup truck parked next to the home. A second vehicle and boat were also damaged. The home was located in a rural community.
Firefighter-paramedics deployed multiple hand lines to combat the fire, as well as the deck gun from Engine 18. Battalion 1 requested a second alarm for additional Tenders and personnel shortly after he arrived, and within five minutes of arrival, a large portion of the residence collapsed. A Tender shuttle was used for water supply, and Engine 10 established a water point at a dry fire hydrant located in a pond about 1-1/2 miles from the scene.
Crews worked for about 30 minutes to knock down the flames. Two master stream devices and multiple large and small handlines were used. The home, garage, and most belongings were destroyed. Some ATVs and yard tractors were saved. Firefighters were on the scene for over four hours. The home was undergoing extensive renovations and the owner was out of town for the holiday, but was notified by responders and returned to the site. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
