ANDERSON – Members of the Anderson Fire Department spent several hours early Tuesday morning battling a fire that engulfed three houses near the city’s downtown.
According to Anderson Fire Chief Dave Cravens, firefighters responded to a call about 10:20 p.m. Monday. When they arrived at the scene at 21st and Main streets, they found three houses on fire. More units – including four engines and a ladder truck – were called.
Firefighters remained on the scene until about 4 a.m. when the last of the flames were extinguished. Cravens said the cause of the fire was undetermined. Two of the three houses were vacant. Two occupants of the third house were evacuated safely and are being assisted by the local Red Cross, Cravens said.
