As Firefighters, mental health is an important. Our job is to take care of our communities, however we often forget to take care of ourselves.

Your Training Division is very happy to Partner with Pendarvis Emergency Training to host a free "class" that addresses the Real Issues we deal with every day.

Why?

Because while we are very good at taking care of our community, we also want to focus on taking care of eachother!

Regardless of where you work, Fire, EMS, or Law Enforcement we are inviting all who are interested to attend this free training. Please share this post and take a look at the two upcoming dates that we have available for YOU.

registration information is below, we hope to see you there!

It’s getting hot out there everyone. From the National Weather Service Columbia, take a look at the heat index going into this weekend.

Remember to drink plenty of water, take breaks if outside, monitor children and pets, and always limit outdoor time if you know heat will effect you.

Today, we remember the nine valiant firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice 19 years ago at the the Sofa Super Store fire in Charleston, South Carolina, on June 18, 2007.

They will never be forgotten. We will continue to honor their legacy as their sacrifice continues to mold and change the fire service for the better today.

Never Forget the Charleston 9.
