The community is reeling from this tragedy as investigations into the cause of the fire are underway. Nearby residents express their shock and sorrow, highlighting both recent and past losses due to fires in the area. The family is facing a critical situation with another sibling in serious condition and requiring community support during this heartbreaking time.
Gloverville, South Carolina, is reeling from a heartbreaking tragedy after a third child, Semerah Jordan, aged just six years old, succumbed to injuries sustained in a devastating house fire. News broke on Thursday afternoon from Doctors Hospital in Augusta, where Semerah took her last breaths, adding another layer of sorrow to an already tragic week for her family.
Semerah was not alone in her misfortune. Her siblings, Serayha and Deandolyn Jordan, also met the same tragic fate earlier this week, having been pronounced dead just minutes apart at Aiken Regional Medical Centers. Serayha was reported dead at 1:57 a.m., while Deandolyn followed shortly after at 2:00 a.m. on the same day, February 24, 2025. The siblings were all caught in a fire that ignited in their rental home, leaving the community stunned and heartbroken.
The fire erupted around 12:50 a.m. on Pine Street, a quiet block in Gloverville, leaving residents in shock as the flames raged intensely. Witnesses reported that the fire burned so fiercely it melted a recycling bin positioned just outside the front door of the home. Fire departments from Langley, Graniteville-Vaucluse-Warrenville, Midland Valley, and Beech Island rushed to the scene, bravely battling the blaze in hopes of rescuing those trapped inside.
During the chaos, the children’s mother and another sibling were quickly transported to Aiken Regional Medical Centers. Thankfully, their injuries have been classified as non-life-threatening; however, one sibling is currently in critical condition, leaving the family in an even more precarious situation. The community holds its breath for a miracle as more news unfolds.
The Aiken County Coroner’s Office, collaborating with the Aiken County Sheriff’s Office and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, has launched an investigation into the fire’s cause. As the community families grapple with this tragedy, crime scene tape remains in place around the home, a reminder of the unimaginable loss and the ongoing efforts to uncover what happened that fateful night.
Residents are expressing their sorrow and concern as they walk past the scene, some stopping to pay silent respects at the site where so much promise was lost. The tragedy is compounded by the neighborhood’s recent history of fires, including a heartbreaking incident last year where 78-year-old Joyce Barfield lost her life when a tree fell on her home during Tropical Storm Helene. With the scars of trauma still fresh in memory, the community is distraught, eager to support the grieving family and each other during this trying time.
Autopsies for the deceased children are set to be conducted in Newberry, South Carolina, to provide clarity on the tragedies that unfolded. The loss of these sweet children serves as a painful reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of community in times of adversity.
As Gloverville comes to grips with this unthinkable tragedy, thoughts and prayers go out to the Jordan family, as well as the entire community that continues to stand together in support and solidarity.
