PHOTOS: A boat in Little River sustained heavy fire damage Wednesday morning, while causing damage to two nearby boats, Horry County Fire Rescue said.

Crews responded just after 8:30 a.m. to the 4000 block of Water Front Avenue where a 28-foot boat was on fire. The incident was under control as of 9:26 a.m. and no injuries were reported. News13 obtained photos and a video of the fire taken by Casey Kuzmik. The images show flames coming from the boat and firefighters working in the area where the boat was docked.

Kuzmik says he could hear the sounds of glass crackling and that the air smelled like fiberglass. He says luckily, fire crews were able to get to the scene within minutes and put out the blaze.

“I was wondering where somebody was. I don’t know where the boat owner was. I didn’t know where anybody was or what to do,” he said. “It was big. There’s fuel lines down here, I mean, it’s a marina. So that’s my No.1 concern, you know, making sure that it didn’t get over here and do anything to our business.”

VIDEO: Mt. Juliet officials were fired up about being featured in a recent music video from country singer Chase Matthew. The Mt. Juliet Fire Department announced this week that it was featured in Matthew’s new “Holdin’ It Down” music video.

“From inside the fire bays to scenes alongside our apparatus, it was a special opportunity to represent Mt. Juliet on a national stage,” a post from the department said. The video focused on themes of hometown pride and tells the story of a child growing up to become a firefighter in his small town.

A message at the end dedicates the production “to the small town heroes.” “We’re proud of our firefighters and grateful to Chase and his team for highlighting the people who truly are holdin’ it down,” MJFD said.
