Many things make

Irmo

a special place

Located at 7473 Church St., Moore Park is a hub of activity and fun for all ages. It hosts the Lexington Medical Center Irmo Okra Strut Festival the last weekend of September and features the Prisma Health Amphitheater, two picnic shelters with grills, scenic trails, a vast green field perfect for sports, a serene pond, a charming playhouse, and multiple playgrounds. Restrooms are conveniently nearby. It’s an ideal spot for parties, reunions, and celebrations of all kinds!

We invite everyone to explore and enjoy the wonderful parks in the Town of Irmo! Visit the townofirmosc.com to learn more.

The rich history of Irmo Irmo’s history is a captivating tale that begins as a modest rural settlement, serving as a crucial stop along the Columbia, Newberry, and Laurens Railroad. Officially incorporated on Dec. 24, 1890, the town’s name honors two notable railroad figures, Mr. Iredell and Mr. Moseley.

For many years, Irmo remained a peaceful rural community. However, the late 1960s and early 1970s saw the development of various subdivisions, sparking a transformation. By the late 1970s, Irmo experienced rapid growth, dramatically altering its landscape.

Irmo operates under the Council form of government as outlined by the South Carolina State Code. The town’s governance includes a mayor and four council members who create policies and establish town codes. The town administrator manages daily operations. Council members serve staggered four-year terms, with elections held every two years.

A significant milestone in Irmo’s history occurred in December 1988, when the Town Hall staff moved to a new location at 7300 Woodrow St. This building, known as the Lown House, was a generous gift from the Lown family. Originally a Victorian house built at the turn of the century, it was relocated to town-owned property at the corner of Woodrow Street and Columbia Avenue. Surrounded by willow oaks, the beautifully restored Lown House now stands as a proud symbol of Irmo’s Town Hall, overlooking the railroad that played

What makes Irmo special a pivotal role in the town’s founding.

Today, we take pride in Irmo being a safe, distinctive and attractive community that offers a blend of small-town and suburban lifestyles.

The town is poised to grow with the Midlands by maintaining a diverse economic base and employing a balanced approach to growth.

With the area’s scenic beauty, access to recreational opportunities, cultural resources and economic opportunity, Irmo is a welcoming place for people and businesses to call home.

Irmo Okra Strut: A Festival with Heart and History In the early 1970s, the Lake Murray-Irmo Woman’s Club set out on a mission to build a library for Irmo. Known for their philanthropic efforts, the club faced the challenge of raising the necessary funds. Inspiration struck when they heard local commentator and WIS radio personality Gene McKay’s whimsical musings about the ‘Ancient Irmese General Store,’ once located at the corner of Fork Avenue and Woodrow Street. McKay humorously imagined these ancient people as short, agrarian folks sustained by okra.

This playful idea sparked a solution for the

Woman’s Club’s fundraising efforts. In October of that year, they organized a small arts and crafts fair at Seven Oaks Park, called “The Okra Strut.”

The club began the tradition of frying okra to raise money for the library. After seven years of dedication and countless servings of fried okra, the Woman’s Club successfully funded Irmo’s first library on St. Andrews Road.

Today, the Okra Strut Festival has grown under the management of the Town of Irmo, with oversight from the Town Council and the Okra Strut Commission. This two-day event features live music, a Saturday morning parade, arts and crafts, exciting rides, and a variety of delicious festival foods. The festival attracts an average of 25,000 attendees each year, with some years seeing up to 60,000 visitors, making it a highlight of Irmo’s cultural calendar.

Beyond the fun, the festival has a meaningful impact. Proceeds benefit local civic and school organizations through charitable donations, scholarships, and improvements to public spaces.

The Okra Strut celebrates a half a century of bringing families together for an unforgettable end-of-summer event happening the last weekend of September.

Irmo Police Department

Irmo Police Department offers helpful programs for residents

I

rmo Police Department is an agency of 29 officers and five civilian administrative staff, serving a community of about 12,000 people. By South Carolina standards, the Irmo Police Department is a medium to large agency. The department offers several different programs to keep the lines of communication open between the department and the community. The Irmo Police Department participates in the nationwide E911 program and emergency services are available by dialing 911.

Irmo Police Chief Robert ‘Bobby’ Dale.

The Irmo Police Department has two Divisions: Patrol and Special Operations. Both divisions are under the leadership of Chief Robert “Bobby” Dale.

As a fifth-generation law enforcement officer, he began his career in 2001 and joined the Irmo Police Department in November 2003. Chief Dale has an open-door policy and welcomes the residents of Irmo to visit and meet the IPD officers and staff.

The Patrol Division is made up of four shifts that provide continuous 24-hour preventative patrol coverage and respond to calls for service within the Town of Irmo. Their roles vary to include detecting and deterring crime; traffic enforcement; direction and control; suppressing disturbances; apprehension of offenders; responding to calls for service; rendering aid; preliminary investigations; and interacting with the community in a manner consistent with our policies.

The Special Operations Division consists of the Criminal Investigations Division and the Community Services Division. The Criminal Investigations Division is tasked with following up on leads in criminal cases. The Investigators are available to respond at any time day or night to scenes of any incident. They are also responsible for processing all major crime scenes as well as the collection, packaging and preservation of evidence.

Within the Criminal Investigations Division is our Drone and Drone Pilot. The Irmo Police Department Drone, or “Okra 1,” as it’s been affectionately named, has been instrumental in missing persons investigations and a fan favorite at community functions such as National Night Out. The Community Services Division focuses on improving the quality of life for residents within

Irmo Police Department

the Town of Irmo. Their officers conduct child safety seat inspections and handle Code Enforcement complaints in addition to attending community functions around the Irmo area. Through a grant, IPD now staffs an SRO at Irmo Elementary, which has been a big hit for the school and the community. Among the responsibilities of this division are the Irmo Police Department Explorer Post 800 and Serving Our Seniors.

The Irmo Police Department Law Enforcement Explorer post is through the Boy Scouts of America.

This program allows young people ages 14 to 20 with an interest in being a police officer to learn about law enforcement from officers within the department. Members of the post receive instruction in different areas of police work and then compete against other posts in South Carolina.

Several employees of the Irmo Police Department, including Chief Dale, Lieutenant Andrea Grinstead and Corporal Chris Kaderly, are former Law Enforcement Explorers. If you would like more information regarding Explorer Post 800, contact Corporal Chris Kaderly at ckaderly@townofirmosc. com or 803-781-8088.

The Irmo Police Department also offers a program for our senior citizens called Serving Our Seniors (SOS). We offer educational programs throughout the year about avoiding scams, crime prevention and weather preparedness. We also contact program participants if we have advanced notice of inclement weather. If you would like to participate in the SOS program, contact Sergeant Brett Mielke

at bmielke@townofirmosc.com or 803-781-8088.

We were very excited this year to partner with Lexington-Richland School District Five for their “Ready By Five” Program. Ready By Five provides education and support to families with children from prenatal to kindergarten. The goal is to prepare parents and caretakers to be their children’s best and most important teachers while equipping them for school entry and lifelong success. Officers carry Ready By Five bags in their patrol cars that include a stuffed teddy bear, book and post card with links to resources available to families within the school district.

We are located at 1230 Columbia Ave., beside the Irmo Town Park, and more recently, the Irmo First Responders Memorial. Officially unveiled May 28, 2024, the obelisk displays the emblems of the Irmo Fire Department, Irmo Police Department and the Town of Irmo. Made of black granite, the memorial is surrounded by four benches symbolizing the virtues of courage, honor and sacrifice.

Finally, we offer house checks for citizens who are away on vacation, fingerprinting services to citizens who are required to have their fingerprints taken for occupational reasons (teachers, stockbrokers), prescription medication disposal, Project ChildSafe gun locks, and child safety seat inspections. These services are free to community members who live in the town limits. To arrange any of those services or have an officer come speak at your event, call the department at 803-781-8088 or visit our website at www.townofirmosc.com www.GreaterIrmoChamber.com 21

Irmo Fire Department

Irmo

Fire District rict always ready to serve

T

he Irmo Fire District was established in 1963 as a special purpose district enacted by the South Carolina Legislature. We have a long and outstanding history of pride and tradition that allows us to work to-gether as a family and serve our community in a most efficient manner. The IFD serves between 45,000 and 50,000 citizens spread across an area of approximately 28 square miles. This includes the Irmo Fire District, the Town of Irmo, Lexington County, Richland County and areas of Ballentine and St. Andrews.

We also have automatic aid agreements with the Columbia Richland Fire Service and Lexington County Fire Service.

The Irmo Fire District carries a Class one rating from ISO (Insurance Services Office Inc).

This highly coveted rating is only held by 2% of the fire departments in the country. Irmo Fire District provides the daily emergency and non-emergent services to our citizens, businesses, and visitors by responding to all types of fires, emergency medical incidents, motor vehicle crashes, swift water rescue, hazardous material incidents, natural disasters, citizen assists and technical rescues. Our services also include community risk reduction efforts, such as fire prevention, code enforcement, public services, public education, and community outreach. IFD is dedicated to providing the highest level of service in each and every one of these categories. Our three fire stations are staffed 24/7 and house two Engines, one Ladder truck, and a rescue boat between them. The newest fire station opened in March 2020 and will improve our ability to provide services to a growing community. This new station is located near the Irmo Police Department at 7422 Childs Street.

Our 39 suppression personnel are divided into 3 shifts, and are operational every day of the year.

The Irmo Fire District has been recognized by the State Fire Marshal’s Office as a Fire Safe Community for three consecutive years. Our dedicated Fire Marshal is committed to pre-

serve lives through community safety education, effective fire inspections, detailed fire plan reviews, comprehensive fire investigation, and smoke alarms. We install hundreds of smoke alarms and CO2 alarms annually through a grant given to the Irmo Fire Foundation.

Being a fire fighter is more than putting out fires. We answer approximately 5,000 calls for service annually, with public service, community care, lifting assistance, wellness checks, and other “well-being” activities representing over 35% of all calls, and fire calls representing only

7%. IFD also provides free car seat checks by appointment.

We love being a part of the community and getting to know everyone. We are happy to schedule apparatus and safety demos at daycares, schools, church groups, neighborhood homeowner’s associations, and public events.

These enable us to teach basic fire safety to our citizens. We enjoy giving tours of the station and encourage future fire fighters that want a closer look at the fire engines to stop by and spend some time with us.
