Fire Erupts at Lumberyard in Conway

Horry County and Conway fire crews responded to “a second-alarm commercial fire” late last night. Around midnight, the lumberyard located on the 100th block of French Collins Road went up in flames. Fire crews luckily reported no injuries. The major concern was immediately removing the wood in the yard in order to “minimize the severity” of the situation. It’s unclear at this point how much damage was done. It’s also unclear at this time what started the fire.
