Colleton County Fire-Rescue
06/17/2023
Fire-Rescue was again awarded the Fire Safe Community Designation by the
Fire Safe South Carolina through the SC Fire Marshal's Office. The County
Fire-Rescue Department was recognized for its efforts in 2022 to develop a
community risk reduction plan for the Colleton County Fire District.
Communities designated under the program continuously work to reduce fire
related injuries and property damage in our state, thus decreasing the risks
for residents and firefighters. Less than 25% of SC Fire Depts have received
this designation. Captain Roger Johnston, Deputy Fire Marshal, accepted the
award on behalf of Fire-Rescue at the SC Firefighter's Conference held at
Myrtle Beach Saturday, 17-June. Residents are reminded that Fire-Rescue provides and installs free smoke alarms for residents in the unincorporated areas and the Towns of Cottageville, Lodge, Smoaks and Williams. Residents wishing to receive free smoke alarms can contact Fire-Rescue Headquarters at (843) 539-1960. |
