Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore said Thursday that a woman was killed and her grandson was taken to a burn unit after fire broke out just before 11 p.m. Wednesday at a home on Old Denver Road, in the Centerville Community. Coroner Shore said that Shirley Blanche Campbell, 77, of Anderson, appears to have died of smoke inhalation. Authorities said three people were in the home when the fire started but only two escaped.
