Four aircraft were lost when a hangar at South Carolina’s Greenville Downtown Airport (KGMU) was destroyed in an early-morning fire last month. No one was injured in the blaze.
The hangar was owned by the Greenville-based charter, maintenance, and aircraft management company Special Services Corporation (SSC). In addition to the aircraft, two of which belonged to SSC’s charter fleet and two of which were client-owned aircraft in for maintenance, the company lost much of its tooling and support equipment. SSC reported that the firewall protecting its office held, saving contents including the aircraft logbooks. The company said the hangar itself, the roof of which collapsed in the fire, is a total loss.
