Wygant Fire, Aug. 21

The newly formed Fire Investigation Team from the area’s fire agencies are investigating a fire that occurred recently on Wygant Road in the Charleston Fire District.  The fire was reported at the north end of Wygant Road about 8:28 p.m.  Charleston firefighters were on the scene in two-minutes, but found a fully involved structure fire.  The fire burned through the power lines servicing the home creating another problem for the firefighters in maneuvering around the structure.  A second smaller structure behind the main residence also caught fire.  Mutual aid was requested from other area fire agencies.
