Cayce, SC 09/20/2022 (Paul Kirby) – Several units of the old Knight’s Inn were destroyed by fire early Tuesday morning in a 2nd alarm blaze. The now closed business is located at 1987 Airport Boulevard in the City of Cayce.

According to Ashley Hunter, spokesperson for the Cayce, the original call regarding the fire came in at approximately 2:15 am on Tuesday, September 20, 2022.
