Fire damages home on Village Drive
Crews from Horry County Fire Rescue responded to a fire at a home off S.C. 707 Sunday evening.
No one was injured, said spokeswoman Leslie Yancey, though one person was home at the time the fire started.
The blaze appears to have begun in a fireplace in an addition on the home on Village Drive, but Yancey said she did not know the extent of the damage Sunday night.
Horry County crews had help from the Myrtle Beach Fire Department and Murrells Inlet Garden City Fire Department. The fire was reported just after 6 p.m.

Be a Santa for a Senior seeks donors
Home Instead Home Health Care is gearing up for its sixth annual Be a Santa for a Senior event and is looking for people who want to give gifts, businesses that can host giving trees and seniors who need gifts this year.
Each year the event has grown. Last year, more than 2,000 gifts were donated so that 500 senior citizens who would have otherwise been without Christmas presents were able to open four gifts each.
Often the gifts are practical, such as warm clothing or blankets, socks, shoes, toiletries or even food items - things they cannot afford to buy themselves, and will not receive if not for the kindness of donors.
Home Instead will host a gift-wrapping party Dec. 14, with Christmas music and snacks for volunteers who come to help package up the gifts that will be distributed to elderly people living independently or in care facilities up and down the Grand Strand.
To get involved or to sign up to receive Christmas gifts, call Home Instead at 215-9777.
