Two Oconee County fires
Seneca fire fighters put out a large trash fire late yesterday afternoon in the backyard of a Utica home on Humbert Street. No one hurt. According to the fire department, the fire originated from some kind of dispute, which the sheriff’s office is looking into. A large wild fire that burned at mid afternoon north of SC 28/the Highlands Highway was contained in the vicinity of Callas Mountain. Ground and air resources were used and, for a time, fire fighters worried that the fire would spread to summer homes at Mountain Rest Lake.
