Horry County Fire Rescue crews and the South Carolina Forestry Commission are working to control an outside fire in the Little River area. Firefighters were called around 10:30 a.m. Tuesday to an area off Highway 31 and Robert Edge Parkway for the fire. It’s located in a wooded tract that backs up to a land-clearing project that is underway for Barefoot Church off Robert Edge Parkway. Earlier in the day, the size of the fire was at three acres but as of 3:30 p.m., the fire had grown to 10 acres, according to Horry County Fire Rescue spokesperson Tony Casey. The South Carolina Forestry Commission is also plowing a line to help stop the fire from growing. It also brought in a third bulldozer to help in the efforts to control the fire.
