A fire destroyed Tiger Spirits in Clemson Wednesday afternoon. Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire after four hours.
The department responded to a call of a fire at Tiger Spirits, located at 1363 Tiger Blvd., at 1:28 p.m. Wednesday, Clemson
University Fire Chief William Daniel said.
Firefighters were able to extinguish the fire after four hours, he said.
Fire marshals were on scene Thursday investigating the cause of the blaze.
No cause had been identified as of press time, but Clemson Police Chief Jimmy Dixon said that at this time investigators did not suspect foul play.
No one was injured in the fire.
Traffic had to be diverted from U.S. 123 near the business for over four hours until the fire was under control, Dixon said.
The building is a total loss, Daniel said.
“It’s partially collapsed,” he said. “It’s a 1940s era construction.”
The Clemson University Fire Department sent 19 firefighters to the scene, and also received assistance from the Central Fire Department and firefighters in Oconee County, Daniel said.
