Anderson County Authorities are investigating several small brush fires which took place in the Claxton area Monday. Just before Noon, deputies were notified of three small fires burning in the 600 block of Edgemoor Rd. Volunteer Firefighters were on the scene in minutes and addressed the fires, which were burning within 50 yards of the others. A second call came in while emergency personnel were on the scene reporting another brush fire on Old Emory Rd. near Crawford Lane. Deputies arrived and found a homeowner putting out that fire with a water hose. Investigators believe that the fires were set deliberately and the Criminal Investigation Division is following up.
