According to the North Charleston Fire Department (NCFD), the fires occurred on Beret Street around 4:50p.m.

NCFD said that the fire started out in a shed, but spread because of strong winds. At the peak of the fire, winds were 35pmh, which prolonged the process of putting the fires out.

Power lines in the area were impacted as well. Power was out in the neighborhood Tuesday night and NCFD said it was unknown when power would be restored.
