Fire Disaster Sparks Lawsuit | Greenville News

A Clinton restaurant owner is suing the city and county after a devastating fire destroyed their business — claiming delays in cutting power and critically low water pressure from hydrants worsened the blaze. Firefighters had to wait hours for utility crews to manually shut off electricity, while 911 dispatch allegedly failed to relay the emergency quickly enough. By the time power was cut, the building’s back porch had already collapsed. With water pressure too weak to fight the fire effectively, crews had to bring in tankers and connect to a hydrant miles away. The lawsuit accuses both entities of negligence — seeking full compensation for lost property, inventory, and income — as the case heads to trial with thirty days for the defendants to respond.
