Woods and porch fire at the Cliffs

Salem Fire Department is trying to determine which fire started first—the woods fire or a fire on the porch of a home. The fire fighters were called early last night to 2608 Edgewater Point in the home development Cliffs at Keowee Falls. 96.3/WGOG NEWS incorrectly placed the location for last night’s fire on Longshore Drive. Salem Fire Marshal Joe Nichols says it appears the fire started on the porch of the home, then spread to consume about a half acre of woodland.
