The City of Hardeeville Phoenix Academy is building something special.
We have brought together an incredible mix of experience, competence, and diversity. Our newest personnel include paramedics with up to 25 years of experience. We have paramedics coming from Maryland, as well as local paramedics with up to 19 years in emergency medicine. We also have Advanced EMTs from Kansas, EMTs from Denver, Colorado, and experienced EMTs from the surrounding area.
Our senior firefighter ranks bring decades of experience from Washington, D.C., the Columbia area, Virginia, Hilton Head Island, Savannah, and beyond. These members have decades of training, education, and experience in fire, EMS, and rescue. At the same time, we have newer backseat firefighters and new EMTs who are hungry to learn and ready to be developed.
Six additional recruits will soon begin EMT and fire school, starting their careers with a strong foundation.
This academy brings together experience from across the country with one common standard: competence.
We are building a department focused on aggressive medicine, technical rescue, and relentless suppression. We expect our people to train hard, know their job, and perform when it matters most.
Different backgrounds. Different experiences. One standard.
The future of the City of Hardeeville Fire Department is being built right here. City of Hardeeville, SC
