High Point Fire District’s first response of the new year was to a reported woods fire on Mt. Harmon Circle. Upon arrival, Engine 31 found grass, brush, woods, and a storage building burning, with fire extending to an adjacent home.

Due to the size and severity of the incident, the call was immediately upgraded to a full structure fire response, prompting automatic mutual aid from Pageland Fire Department and Sandhills Fire Department.
