    That's really terrible, we've been by that place on a golf cart to get propane tanks filled at Apache's filling station.

    Very very sad.

    The fire department is just up the road from Apache so I'm not surprised at their quick response.
  • Fire & police on scene within 5 minutes and had fire under control within an hour and yet 2 trailers destroyed and 2 damaged from fire that started shortly after midnight.

  • Fire officials say two people have died and another person has been hurt in a fire at a coastal South Carolina campground.
