Low humidity, gusty winds and one discarded, still-lit cigarette combined to kindle the massive blaze that destroyed three homes Thursday in Sun City Carolina Lakes. “I’ve seen cigarettes start a fire in grass, but never in 40-mph winds,” said Lancaster County Fire Rescue Director Darren Player. Player noted that interviews and an initial investigation led county Fire Marshal Russell Rogers to come to that conclusion. A Sun City resident, he said, told investigators that he was smoking on a porch deck.
