This is the second fire, Sandhills Sentinel has reported in less than a 72 hour period.  A fire quickly consumed a two-story condo on Old Course Road in Aberdeen at the former Pit Golf Course with two people initially trapped inside Saturday night.  The people were treated at Moore Regional Hospital for smoke inhalation.
