A South Carolina couple escaped a deadly house fire thanks to a free smoke alarm installed two years prior.
A house fire in Colleton County, South Carolina, destroyed a home on Pine Needle Road on September 18, 2025, but a smoke alarm installed free of charge by firefighters two years prior helped alert a couple in time to escape.
The fire, which broke out around 3:30 a.m., caused extensive damage, including a collapsed roof and the loss of their car.
The couple was treated for smoke inhalation and released.
Fire officials credit the alarm with saving their lives, and the American Red Cross is assisting the displaced family.
The cause remains under investigation, and Colleton County continues to offer free smoke alarms to residents.
