Fire officials report that the top story of an upstate residence is 'fully involved' in flames.

A house fire over the weekend in downtown Anderson, South Carolina, has left a two‑story home on St. Paul Street heavily damaged, but with no injuries reported. Anderson Fire Department crews responded to find the top floor “well involved” in flames, meaning the fire was already deep into the upper level when they arrived.

What firefighters did

  • Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the blaze and confirm that no one was inside the home, which helped avoid any casualties.
  • The Anderson Police Department and the Fire Marshal’s Office are now investigating the incident to determine the cause of the fire and whether it was accidental or suspicious.

Current status

  • No injuries were reported, and officials have not released details yet on whether the structure is repairable or a total loss.
  • FOX Carolina and local authorities said they plan to provide more details as the investigation progresses.

If you tell me whether you’re in or near Anderson, I can suggest a quick home‑fire safety checklist (like checking smoke alarms, escape routes, etc.) for your area.
