State investigators are trying to find the cause of a fire that destroyed a judge’s home on a South Carolina island.

The Saturday blaze nearly burned to the ground the house listed in property records as owned by Circuit Judge Diane Goodstein on a remote part of Edisto Island, authorities said.

The State Law Enforcement Division confirmed Monday it is investigating the fire but has released no other details about a possible cause or the people in the home.

Local law enforcement is providing extra patrols and security as state agents investigate, Chief Justice John Kittredge said in a statement.

Three people were hurt in the blaze and one of them was taken by helicopter to the Medical University of South Carolina, according to Colleton County Fire-Rescue. The names of the people hurt were not released.

The house’s first floor is elevated from the ground and the injured had to jump to the ground. Several then had to be rescued by kayaks from the swampy back yard, the St. Paul’s Fire District said in a statement on social media.

Video from the fire department showed the home fully engulfed in flames. Drone photos taken over the scene later showed only a few charred wooden supports standing amid the blackened rubble.

Goodstein has been a state judge for 27 years, handling thousands of cases.
