Night ire burns Belleville Road residence
By JORDONE BRANCHand MARTHA ROSE BROWN
The Times and Democrat
Both residents of 2312 Belleville Road are safe and without injury after a ire burned through their home Thursday night.
A smoke detector alerted the residents of a ire around 8:32 p.m. and the Orangeburg De-partment of Public Safety arrived on the scene ive minutes later.
The last ireighter left the scene at 12:58 a.m. on Friday.
There was an estimated $275,000 in loss and damage to the property and contents as a result of the ire.
An ODPS report states that while the cause of the ire remains under investigation, it started in the home’s attic.
Eleven ireighters from ODPS worked to extinguish the blaze and called for mutual aid
from the volunteer ire departments of Jamison and Four Holes for additional manpower.
Fireighters initially made an interior attack where they noticed the ire venting through the roof. They then deployed an exterior attack to help slow the spread of the ire.
Ultimately, fire personnel forced entry through the front door of the residence to sup-press ire that was still spreading and venting out of the front.
Fireighters got the ire under control at the front of the structure and started salvage and overhaul operations at the rear of home. After all hot spots were extinguished, ireighters left the scene.

The fire that destroyed a two-story structure at 6421 Ehrhardt Road in Ehrhardt Thursday morning was a heating device, according to an oicial.
Ehrhardt Public Safety Chief Chad Dilling reported Friday an electric heat lamp was the source of the blaze that was called in at 11:08 a.m.
“A heating device in the back room of the upstairs liv-ing quarters was left on, and we believe that to be the cause of the ire,” Dilling said. “This is consistent with where the lames and smoke were irst seen.”
The two-story structure consisted of two living quar-ters above and Sheppard Realty & Construction Inc. below.
Allison Fisk, one of the res-idents, reported the ire after returning home to see smoke and lames coming from the structure.
Three other family mem-bers — Jesse Sheppard, Her-man Sheppard and 2-year-old Carson Sheppard — were not at home when the ire broke out.
No people were injured, but
two pets, a cat and a dog, died as a result of the ire.
Fifty ireighters from the following departments re-sponded to the blaze: Ehrhardt, Colston, Little Swamp, Hunt-ers Chapel, Canaan, Bamberg, Olar, Govan, Barnwell, Hilda and Williston, along with the Canaan FD Rehab Unit. Also responding were oicers from the Ehrhardt Police De-partment and the Bamberg County Sherif’s Oice, along with South Carolina Forestry Commission personnel.
Bamberg County Fire Coor-dinator Brenna Hancock said personnel with the state De-partment of Health and En-vironmental Control were on scene because of the propane gas tanks located in the garage. Oicials at one point were seen examining one of the tanks that had exploded in the blaze. The American Red Cross also responded, Hancock said.
Misty Cook, mother of Al-lison Fisk, said the wood-frame structure was less than 10 years old.
“They lost everything,” she said of the family.

T&D Staff Report
The ire that destroyed a Hickory Hill Road home was started Tuesday by a person who had quit tak-ing her medication, ac-cording an Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office incident report.
The 61-year-old woman had been taking medica-tion for anxiety and de-pression issues, the report said. She quit the medica-tion when she started feel-ing better.
The woman got sick over the weekend, with her condition worsening Tuesday. The report says she felt like she didn’t want to live any longer. She lit a match and threw it on the loor, starting the ire.
The woman passed out in the attic and was res-cued by her daughter. She was taken to the Regional Medical Center, where law enforcement oicers spoke to her.
COLUMBIA (AP) — Gov. Nikki Haley on Friday named the prison agency’s inspec-tor general as the next leader of South Carolina’s probation and parole agency.
Jerry Adger, 60, of Irmo, re-places Kela Thomas, who sub-mitted her resignation letter last month. Her last day was Jan. 1.
Adger still must be conirmed by the Senate. The announce-ment marked the end of Haley’s Cabinet changes for her sec-ond term, presenting what she referred to as the new “Team Haley.”
Adger, who received his bach-elor’s and master’s degrees from the University of South Carolina, has worked in state law enforce-ment agencies since 1977. His career began four years earlier as a ingerprint analyst at the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
After nearly two decades at the State Law Enforcement Di-vision — in jobs ranging from
special agent to internal afairs — Adger worked a decade at the Department of Juvenile Justice, as inspector general and dep-uty director. Adger has been at the Department of Corrections since 2011.
Haley praised Adger as cre-ating a cultural change at every agency he’s worked. She said it’s time for the probation and pa-role agency to focus on job train-ing, to not only keep people who have served their time from re-ofending but to also improve their lives.
Adger pledged to improve the agency. He said he will start his tenure by sitting down with the agency’s oicers to hear what they need to feel supported and do their jobs.
Earlier on Friday, Haley pre-sented Thomas with the Order of the Palmetto, South Caroli-na’s highest civilian award.
Thomas had led the Depart-ment of Probation, Parole and
Pardon Services since the Sen-ate conirmed her nomination in February 2011. Her one-para-graph resignation letter gave no reason for her departure.
She was among two Afri-can-Americans and six women in Haley’s 16-agency Cabinet. Adger’s nomination means three Cabinet agencies will be led by African-Americans as Haley’s second term begins Wednesday.
