Crews update fire investigation at the old Hard Rock park near Myrtle Beach
Fire investigators labeled the blaze that broke out at a commercial building at the old Hard Rock park outside Myrtle Beach as suspicious.
Horry County Fire and Rescue Spokesman Tony Casey said the investigation continues and should take weeks to complete. He declined to provide further details on what led investigators to call the blaze as suspicious.
Around 11: 30 p.m. on Feb. 17, Horry County Fire Rescue crews were called to the vacant facility off George Bishop Parkway after a person passing by reported seeing smoke and flames, Casey said. Dozens of fire trucks responded to the three-alarm fire.
The site is near the old Hard Rock Park, also once known as the Freestyle Music Park. The commercial facility was under renovations and surrounded by a fence.
It wasn’t until 3:30 a.m. that crews extinguished the interior blaze. No one was hurt in the incident.
