AYNOR, S.C. (WPDE) - Horry County Fire Rescue and the SC Forestry Commission responded to a woods fire Sunday afternoon in Aynor. Firefighters were called to an area off Old King Street around 2 p.m. Within a couple hours the fire was contained.
Forestry Commission Public Information Director Scott Hawkins says they responded and 18 to 20 acres of land have burned.
