Man killed when short causes fire
Authorities told The Herald of Rock Hill that the body of Lucious Waters was found in his bedroom after the blaze was put out.
Lancaster City Fire Chief Chris Nunnery says the fire was confined to the bedroom and it took firefighters about three minutes to put the blaze out.
Nunnery says the fire appears to have started from an electrical short in a drop cord.
