Car fire sets Hurricane Matthew debris ablaze on St. Helena
A car fire at a St. Helena boat landing sparked a brush fire that firefighters battled for almost two hours early Friday morning.
Firefighters arrived about 1 a.m. to find a car on fire at Station Creek Landing off Seaside Road, Lady’s Island-St. Helena Fire District spokesman Scott Harris said. The fire spread to nearby brush piled up after Hurricane Matthew.
Crews worked about two hours to extinguish the fire. Other cars and a boat were in the area, but no one was hurt.
Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the car fire, Harris said.
