When crews arrived on scene, they were met with “flames and smoke coming from the front of the home,” according to a Facebook post from Cherokee County Fire & Emergency Services. 

Firefighters searched the home and were able to get the fire under control. No one was injured from the fire, the post said. 

Residents are asked to avoid the north end of Pearidge Road since it is still closed.
