A duplex apartment and a resident’s furry loved one were saved after a fire broke out Wednesday night. Officials say just after 9 p.m., the Burton Fire District and Beaufort/Port Royal Fire Department responded to a fire at the Oakview Commons apartments where the structure and a cat were saved thanks to an alert neighbor. They say a resident heard his neighbor’s smoke detector, saw smoke and then called 911. Firefighters arrived in time and were able to contain the fire to the one apartment where it originated. They also rescued a kitten from the fire, which was then revived by Beaufort County EMS personnel. A second cat was also located under some furniture and was uninjured.
