By Bobby Bryant Editor [email protected]

A fire Sept. 21 tore through as many as nine barns full of tobacco at a Darlington County farm, causing an esti- mated $225,000 damage and painting the sky with smoke that could be seen for miles. The blaze at Griggs Farm (Sugar Hill Acres) in the Byrdtown community outside Hartsville “just cooked every- thing,” said Tim Griggs, an owner of the farm that’s been in business for about 60 years. “Big, black, rolling smoke.” Four fire stations respond- ed to the incident – the Darlington County Fire District and the Hartsville, Darlington and Patrick fire departments. Griggs said the county fire district “ran out of water. The fire was unbeliev- able.” Griggs told the News & Press last week that fire inves- tigators had been going through the wreckage. He said it appeared that the fire might have started from an electrical malfunction in one barn, pos- sibly in the system that con- trols the temperature in the barn. The fire started on a Saturday afternoon about 4 p.m.
