Major damage from this morning’s fire near Walhalla

A one-story home just south of Walhalla is now un-inhabitable as the result of fire this morning—a fire that appears to have started at the back of the brick house.  The fire scene is SC 183/the Westminster Highway, about one-half mile north of WGOG.  No personal injuries resulted, but a number of pets died. Chief Burton of Walhalla Fire Department says one person has been displaced from the home.  Crews are attempting to decide what caused the fire.  Burton says it’s possible the fire started from a bedding area for goats at the back of the house.
