NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) – A house fire in North Myrtle Beach closed a portion of Little River Neck Road Tuesday morning.
According to a Nixel alert, the 4500 block of Little River Neck Road was closed so fire crews could put out a house fire in the area around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. North Myrtle Beach Fire Rescue reports the house was near Church View Lane. Drivers were asked to avoid the area, if possible.
Little River Neck Rd had to be closed for just over an hour due to the 5″ supply line from the fire hydrant being on the roadway.
Crew had the fire under control within 30 minutes.
North Myrtle Beach spokesperson Pat Dowling says the structure was a cinderblock home and the interior is a total loss.
The fire displaced two adults and a child. The American Red Cross was brought in to help the family.
