Healthcare SC Plant Fire Leaves 250 Jobless | Columbia News

A devastating fire at the Healthcare SC mattress plant in Winnsboro has wiped out the facility, leaving over 250 workers unemployed starting August 28th. The company vows to rebuild and is already helping laid-off employees — including attending a job fair on September 2nd with local partners. But the fallout isn’t just economic: a nearby farmer filed a lawsuit claiming contamination from the blaze ruined her crops. While Healthcare SC promises ongoing updates and community support, workers and families face an uncertain future — and South Carolina’s unemployment office is ready to assist those affected right away.
