Boat on Fire Off Cherry Grove
Around 1600 hours on October 6, 2025, North Myrtle Beach FR units were dispatched to a reported boat fire off the coast of Cherry Grove in the ocean near the Cherry Grove Pier. Due to this being an active incident, numerous agencies coordinated in the response and a unified command was established on the beach at Sea Mountain Highway. First arriving fire personnel made visual contact from the shore to begin providing information for additional responding agencies. Fire personnel from Rescue 1 partnered up with North Myrtle Beach Ocean Rescue staff to deploy two PWCs from the shore to make contact with the boat crew who had deployed a life raft. They were able to bring the crew back to shore all accounted for with no injuries. Also assisting with the incident were Horry County Fire Rescue, North Myrtle Beach Police, North Myrtle Beach Rescue Squad and the US Coast Guard.

Tight Quarters For Fire Challenge
Around 1745 hours on November 4, 2025, B-Battalion units were dispatched for a working structure fire with flames and smoke visible through the roof of a two-story unit in the 1800 block of South Hillside Drive. Crews faced initial challenges getting access to the impacted unit due to its location between two other residential units, but were able to get two handlines in service for an interior attack. The quick interior attack allowed knockdown of the bulk of fire preventing any spread to nearby homes. Personnel completed extensive overhaul and no injuries were reported. Units operating on scene: Engine 1, Engine 2, Engine 3, Engine 4, Engine 5, Truck 1, Rescue 1, Battalion 1, Car 1, Car 2, Car 3, Car 7, Car 8, Car 9, Car 10, Car 11, HCFR Medic 32, North Myrtle Beach Police & Santee Cooper. Thanks to Horry County Fire Rescue Engines 2 and 7 for providing coverage for the City while our units worked the fire scene.

Smoke Alarms Save Lives … Again
Smoke alarms are being credited with saving two people from an early morning structure fire on September 19, 2025 at 0327 hours. The occupants of a home in the 300 block of Pine Needle Road were awakened by the smoke alarms and were able to escape the home which was filling with smoke and they could feel heat from attic where the fire was located. As they ran from the residence they saw the roof was in flames. A Sheriff’s Deputy on patrol drove up on the fire and reported the home fully involved. Engine 1 arrived and deployed a deck gun. Firefighter-Paramedics advanced multiple handlines to the building and entered through the front door, and had the fire under control in about 25 minutes. A water shuttle was conducted for water supply. The home suffered substantial damage with the roof on one side being burned away; the interior of the home was destroyed. The family lost most of their belongings and their car, which was also destroyed. The two occupants were evaluated at the scene and transported to HCA Colleton Hospital in Walterboro with smoke inhalation and were later released. Fire units were on the scene for four hours. The cause of the fire was under investigation and the Red Cross was assisting the family.

Bazzle Farm Lane Fire
A residential structure on Bazzle Farm Lane was damaged in a fire on November 2, 2025 at about 1045 hours. The occupants were at home when they heard a popping noise, and, upon investigating, discovered the back of the house was on fire. They were able to get all of the animals and occupants safely out of the building. The fire appears to have started outside the home near the back porch, burning up the side of the structure and entering the attic, spreading across the attic space. Engine 26 arrived and deployed one handline to extinguish the fire. Firefighters had to pull the ceiling in several rooms to reach the flames. Most of the fire damage was on the exterior and above the living space. Most personal items were saved. Fire-Rescue units were on the scene for a little over an hour.

North Augusta Officer Spots House Fire
While on routine patrol, a North Augusta Department of Public Safety officer noticed smoke coming from a residence on Thurmond Street and quickly alerted dispatch. Public Safety personnel responded within minutes, bringing manpower and apparatus to the scene to battle the blaze. The structure sustained heavy damage, but thanks to the officer’s quick actions and the coordinated response of first responders, no injuries were reported.

No Injuries in Burton Vehicle Fire
On October 20, 2025, the Burton Fire District responded to a reported vehicle fire resulting in a total loss of the vehicle but no injuries. Just before 0730 hours, Burton firefighters responded to a report of a black SUV on fire on Harding Street in Burton. Initial reports were that no one was in the vehicle but the fuel tank was full. Firefighters arrived to find that the SUV was fully involved. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire. No injuries were reported and no damages occurred beyond the vehicle which was heavily damaged. The fire was under investigation. The Burton Fire District has responded to eight vehicle fires in 2025; in comparison, Burton firefighters extinguished 11 such fires in 2024.

Flames & Smoke on Arrival for Colleton County Crews
At 0917 hours on September 24, 2025, a passing motorist reported a residential structure fire in the 8300 block of Augusta Highway at Can City Road. Engine 17 arrived in about five minutes to find a single-story, residential, wood frame structure with heavy smoke visible from all sides and flames venting from the side windows. Firefighter-Paramedics forced the front door and advanced a single handline into the structure. They quickly knocked down the flames in a back bedroom. The fire had already breached the attic space. Crews pulled the ceilings in several rooms to extinguish the fire in the attic. The bedroom where the fire originated suffered heavy damage, but fortunately the homeowner had closed the bedroom door before leaving which contained most of the damage to the bedroom. The remainder of the home suffered smoke and heat damage, but many personal items were saved. No injuries were reported. The fire started in the bedroom and the exact cause was under investigation. Water supply was handled with Tenders. Units were on the scene for two hours.

Loaded Log Truck Collides With Amtrak Train
A northbound Amtrak train collided with the loaded log truck at a private crossing on Weiss Lane on October 14, 2025 at 0851 hours. The log truck pulled into the path of the train and was struck at the rear of the trailer. The trailer received heavy damage and many of the logs were displaced and damaged, sending debris along the tracks and blocking the small dirt road. The train’s engine received substantial damage, but the train remained on the tracks and safely stopped about 1/3 of a mile north of the collision. None of the 48 people and crew on the train were injured. Fortunately, the truck driver did not sustain any injuries. Fire-Rescue assigned a great deal of resources to the incident, but most of the units were cancelled once it was determined no one was hurt. Rail traffic was stopped on the busy line for over an hour, but the eight-unit passenger train was able to depart under its own power. Fire-Rescue units were on the scene for two hours.

Renovations Underway for New Building South Carolina State Firefighters’ Association
September 18, 2025
Dear Members,
We are proud to share that we have purchased a larger building still within the same office park in Columbia. This existing facility in our state’s capital city will allow the Association to continue expanding services for our members, provide the space needed to support the future growth of South Carolina’s fire service, and enhance our efforts to preserve and showcase the rich history of the fire service through the South Carolina Fire Heritage Center.
Renovation plans for the building which will house the Heritage Center and Association office are underway, and the first phase will allow our staff to move into the facility in the near future. Beyond this first step, we are excited to share that future fundraising efforts will help us renovate additional portions of the building to include:
• Educational Space – A much-needed resource to bring in additional educational opportunities and host programs that advance the profession.
• Collaboration Areas – Committee meeting rooms, partner association space, and flexible educational areas to foster teamwork and growth.
• History Center – A dedicated space to honor and preserve our rich fire service history, including the display of donated fire apparatus and equipment.
Twenty years ago, the South Carolina State Firefighters’ Association
took an important step forward when we purchased our first building in Columbia. That space became more than just an office; it became the central hub of your Association, a place where staff has worked daily to serve our 17,000+ members, and where the foundation for much of our progress was laid.
As we move into this exciting new chapter, the Executive Committee and staff invite you to join us in assisting with the fundraising efforts. Your support by connecting us with potential donors, sharing the vision of this facility with your peers, or providing ideas is key to continuing to build on our history while preparing for the needs of the generations ahead. Expect more information on how you can get involved in the coming months.
On behalf of the Executive Committee, we are incredibly thankful for the trust you’ve placed in this Association and the passion you bring to the fire service. This new building is not just an investment in office space—it is an investment in collaboration, education, history, and the forward progression of our membership and the fire service across our state.
Stay Safe, Pierce Womack President

MVA on Green Pond Hwy Claims 4 Lives
A tragic MVA in the 5600 block of Green Pond Highway (SC Hwy 303) on November 3, 2025 claimed four lives. The accident occurred on the rural highway four miles south of Walterboro. A car and a small van collided head-on causing extensive damage to both vehicles, and blocked both lanes of Green Pond Highway. Three unrestrained occupants were in the car. Two were trapped and the male driver of the Caravan was also trapped in the wreckage. Both vehicles caught fire. Fire-Rescue units arrived eight minutes later. Two brave bystanders were removing an unconscious eight-year old male from the back seat of the burning car. The car was fully involved in the center of the highway. Engine 6 deployed one handline to extinguish the fire in the car so other crew members could begin treating the remaining two occupants. They then extinguished the fire in the minivan. Crews used Holmatro rescue tools to gain access to the victims inside the car. A 16-year-old male was deceased from multiple traumatic injuries. FirefighterParamedics evaluated the eight-year old. He also suffered multiple injuries and had no signs of life. The adult female driver was semiconscious and in critical condition. She was extricated and moved to Fire-Rescue Medic 1 for treatment. Firefighter-Paramedics treated her injuries and administered two units of whole blood. Two medical helicopters had been requested and were en route to the scene. One was canceled. Firefighters proceeded to extinguish the fully involved minivan. The driver was trapped in the wreckage and was deceased. Two canines in the vehicle were also deceased. The Coroner’s Office was requested and responded. As crews were preparing the female patient to be loaded into the helicopter, she went into cardiac arrest. Resuscitative measures were initiated and she was rapidly transported to the Emergency Department at HCA Colleton Hospital in Walterboro by Fire-Rescue Medic 1. The Medicare flight crew and additional firefighter-paramedics were on board to assist with her care. She did not survive her injuries. The SC Highway Patrol was investigating the accident. Colleton County Sheriff’s Deputies assisted at the scene with traffic control. Firefighter-paramedics removed the two deceased canines from the minivan and buried them near the wood line at the accident site.

Bluffton
Township Hires New Fire Chief
After an extensive national search process, the Bluffton Township Fire District Board of Commissioners has selected David Hindman as the District’s next Fire Chief. County Administrator Michael Moore approved the offer of employment following the Fire Commission Board’s recommendation. Chief Hindman is expected to begin his service on or before January 5, 2026, as he transitions from his current role as Chief of Operations for the Greenville City (SC) Fire Department.
The Fire Commission Board began its recruitment process earlier this year, reviewing more than 60 applicants from across the country. After multiple interview rounds and assessments, the Board identified Chief Hindman as the candidate best aligned with the district’s operational needs, organizational culture, and future growth.
“We took very seriously the responsibility to find the right leader for this organization and our community,”said acting Board Chairman William Rickett. “The search process was thorough, thoughtful, and deliberate. We are confident that Chief Hindman brings the experience, leadership, and commitment to service necessary to guide the Bluffton Township Fire District forward.”
Chief Hindman brings more than 25 years of fire service experience, beginning his career as a junior volunteer firefighter at age 16. He has served in multiple operational and administrative leadership roles, most recently overseeing operations for Greenville City Fire. Chief Hindman holds both a Master of Public Administration and a Bachelor’s Degree in Fire Services Administration from Waldorf University.

“We are deeply appreciative of Chief Church’s steady leadership during this period,” Chairman Rickett said. “His service ensured continuity and stability while the search process was underway.”

Station 6 is Now Open for Business!
We are excited to announce that our Station 6 is now open for business! Replacing an aged building that was barely big enough to house a single engine, our new station is able to comfortably house a combination of structural, wildland or water assets. Unlike the previous building that used to occupy this property, this new station is recognized by ISO, and should help with a future reduction of our rating,
which will help save our citizen’s money in the form of potentially reduced homeowners insurance. The best part about this new station? The majority of the cost was paid for by grants, including $375,000 from Palmetto Railways as well as another $10,000 from “A Fee” funds donated by County Supervisor Cribb and County Councilman Pickney. “With the support of Palmetto Railways as well as Supervisor
Cribb and Councilman Pickney, we were able to build a station that will allow our department to better serve the residents of the Cross district, and in doing this we will be more efficient at our job which is to save lives and protect property,” said Fire Chief Tim Stephenson. “We cannot thank them enough for their part in making this station a reality.”

CFSI EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR BILL WEBB ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
After serving as CFSI Executive Director for the past 30 years, Bill Webb announced his retirement effective December 31, 2025. He made the announcement a reception attended by members of the CFSI National Advisory Com-mittee and others.
“A friend of mine recently summed up his career by saying you never have to work a day in your life if you enjoy what you’re doing,” said Webb in his remarks.
“For the most part, those words describe how I feel about my work. I”
As Executive Director, Webb worked with six administrations and 10 U.S. Fire Administrators. His contributions to the fire service, including his role in the creation of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program in 2000, his support for the United States Fire Administration and National Fire Academy, and his advocacy for fire safety and prevention, among other issues, have significantly impacted public safety in our nation. In lauding Webb for his contributions to the fire service, CFSI President Jim Estepp quoted Harry Truman who said, “It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you don’t care who gets the credit.”
“At times a quiet force, Bill has undoubtedly proven himself as a pivotal fire service leader, influencing important issues in Washington, DC, that have greatly benefited our nation’s fire and emergency services,” said CFSI President Jim Estepp. “We will miss his leadership.”

Moncks Corner Rural Fire Department mourns the loss of Deputy Chief Jimmy Townsend. In the early morning hours of September 28, 2025, Chief Townsend suffered a fatal cardiac-related event within the 24-hour window defined by the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation to meet the criteria of a Line of Duty Death. On the evening of Saturday, September 27, 2025, Chief Townsend responded to two separate emergencies, the first one
Monck Corner’s Jimmy Townsend
being at 1830 and the second at 2213, less than five hours before he suffered the cardiac event.
“Chief Townsend was a staple not only in the Moncks Corner Rural Fire Department, but also throughout the entire Berkeley County Fire Service. His knowledge, experience and professional demeanor made him the rock that so many sought out during moments of chaos. He will be missed,” said Moncks Corner Rural Fire Chief Scott Lee.
Deputy Chief Townsend dedicated more than three decades of service to the fire service, beginning his career with the Moncks Corner Rural Fire Department in November of 1990. Throughout his career, he was a steadfast leader, mentor and friend who stood as a cornerstone of the Berkeley County and South Carolina firefighting community. His passing leaves a void that can never truly be filled.
