Jamie Lee Komoroski is linked here to a Charleston County EMS unit that caught fire Thursday afternoon in Mount Pleasant. The vehicle was traveling on US 17 near Shelmore Boulevard when the fire started in the engine compartment, and no injuries were reported.
No patient was on board when the fire broke out. That detail leaves the incident as a vehicle fire, not a patient-care emergency, even though it involved an EMS unit on a busy roadway.
US 17 and Shelmore Boulevard
The fire happened while the unit was moving through the area of Shelmore Boulevard in Mount Pleasant. With the fire centered in the engine compartment, the immediate concern was the vehicle itself rather than anyone inside it.
The report identifies the incident as isolated. It does not say the unit was carrying a patient, and it does not report any injuries tied to the fire.
Charleston County EMS response
Charleston County EMS is the agency tied to the unit in the report. The facts available do not state what happened after the fire or whether the vehicle stayed in service.
For a reader on US 17, the practical takeaway is simple: the incident involved an EMS vehicle, but it did not become a patient injury case. What remains unanswered is what caused the fire in the engine compartment.
