Operating from 31 fire stations located in the beautiful South Carolina Lowcountry, the agency is rated as an ISO Class 4 Fire Department. The staff is comprised of 250 volunteer firefighters, supported by 72 cross-trained career personnel. Fire-Rescue operates a fleet of 107 vehicles including 34 engines, 34 tenders, eleven ambulances, two E-One 95’ Platforms, one Hazardous Materials/Command Vehicle and one ARFF truck.  

Services provided:

Through a progressive local government, Fire-Rescue has experienced tremendous growth since 2002. Coverage has been extended to many rural communities through the construction of nine new fire stations. Suppression duties were assumed within three municipalities and countywide ALS Emergency Medical Transport (Ambulance) responsibility was assigned in March of 2004. All career staff members are cross-trained as Firefighter IIs and Emergency Medical Technicians (Basic, Intermediate or Paramedic), an effort that significantly improved operations for the citizens.
