Horry County Fire RescueNorth Myrtle Beach and Calabash firefighters first responded to the fire around 6:30 a.m. Thursday.

Horry County Fire Rescue Chief Gary Alderman says some diesel tanks stored in a barn caught fire on Sandridge Road, and they had to evacuate some residents.

No one was hurt.

Don Kelley owns the property. He said, "My 91-year-old grandfather, my father and I eat at Hot Stacks on Ocean Drive every morning and when I arrived this morning my father was barreling out of the parking lot and they told me when I came across Robert Edge Parkway, it looked like a bomb had gone off with the smoke. I got here and my father was backing his truck out and the front end of it was on fire."

Firefighters had to return to the scene just after noon to put out some hot spots.

Horry County Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Kenny Todd says the fire is under investigation.
