The St. John’s Fire District and Charleston Fire Department responded to a large brush and mulch pile fire on Johns Island Saturday night.
Fire Details and Response
At approximately 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, crews were called to a fire in a recently cleared area near River Road and Exchange Landing Road. The fire involved a large pile of brush and mulch.
Firefighters continued their efforts into Sunday morning, working to break apart the pile and move it further from a nearby tree line to prevent further spread. The St. John’s Fire District reported that smoke may still be visible in the area as the pile continues to smolder.
