Clarendon County Fire Rescue

6 days ago

At approximately 11:04 a.m., Clarendon County Fire Rescue units responded to a vehicle accident near the1800 block of Spigner Road in Alcolu. Initial reports indicated that a vehicle had struck a natural gas line and was on fire.

Upon arrival, crews confirmed a single vehicle had collided with a natural gas line, resulting in heavy fire conditions. The roadway was shut down for safety. One occupant was located in a nearby field and was transported by Medic 1 to the hospital with non life threatening injuries, and has since been released. One nearby residential structure was safely evacuated. Engine 61 and Engine 91 were on scene handling fire suppression operations and was able to contain the fire without any property damage.

Forestry was called to assist with cutting a break to contain the woods fire. Dominion Energy was notified and responded to secure and shut off the gas supply. No additional injuries were reported.

We would like to thank the Clarendon County Sheriff’s Office, South Carolina Highway Patrol, The South Carolina Forestry Commission, and Clarendon County Emergency Management / 911 Dispatch Center for their assistance during this incident. The roadway has since reopened; however, Dominion Energy will remain in the area for continued system repairs. … See MoreSee Less
