Press Release
Every year, Fire Safe South Carolina (FSSC) and its partners congratulate 132 fire departments across the state on their active participation in developing community risk reduction plans. For the 4th consecutive year, Dorchester County’s Fire Rescue has once again been recognized by the FSSC for their commitment to reducing fire-related injuries in our state.
To earn the “Fire Safe South Carolina” designation, fire departments completed courses to improve data quality, trained community partners to deliver in-home safety visits, and further developed their skills through online National Fire Academy courses in risk reduction and assessment.
“I am incredibly proud of our team for once again earning such a designation. We will continue to work towards keeping our citizens and our firefighters safe through dedicated training and fire safety messaging,” said Chief Tres Atkinson, Dorchester County Fire Rescue.
