On behalf of the Irmo Fire District and our extended fire family, we would like to thank the community for the outpouring of support following the loss of one of our own. We may not be able to respond to each of you individually, but know that your messages of support are comforting.
Several people have asked about making a financial donation. The Irmo Fire Foundation is accepting donations on behalf of the Muller family, a link is provided below. Checks can be made out to the Irmo Fire Foundation, and mailed to Irmo Fire Headquarters. Please leave a memo "In Memory of James Muller". At this time we are not supporting or affiliated with any other fundraising efforts.

A makeshift memorial has been started at our Headquarters Station, 6017 Saint Andrews Road. If you'd like to add to it you're more than welcome to.
Irmo Fire personnel are not on duty this weekend. Our fire service partners across the state of South Carolina are providing fire apparatus and crews to cover Irmo so that we can grieve our loss and support Firefighter Muller's family.
The family has asked for privacy, please respect their wishes. If you would like to make contact, reach out to Assistant Chief Sloane Valentino.
Funeral arrangements are pending, and we have a wealth of resources assisting us right now. Once we have the details ironed out we will announce our plan.
Media inquiries should be directed to Assistant Chief Sloane Valentino (803) 600-2021.
