ORANGEBURG, S.C. — Orangeburg firefighters responded to a woods fire on Tuesday afternoon.

The first engine on scene reported fire burning a wood material pile about 40 feet by 50 feet.
Fire was spreading to adjacent wood storage-Dempsy Wood Products Inc.
A portion of Prosperity Drive was shut down to secure a water source at a hydrant.
The fire was declared under control in about 40 minutes. People at the business assisted firefighters with on site machinery.
The fire was determined to have started from a cutting process that struck a nail igniting saw dust.
