New EMS station in Timmonsville Aims to Reduce Response Times on I-95

Published: TIMMONSVILLE, SC (WBTW) - Florence County Council wants to improve first responder times in Timmonsville and on Interstate 95. County leaders say the new EMS station on Ball Park Road, directly behind the Honda Plant, will get crews to accidents on the interstate faster.

The goal is to get response times to three minutes on the interstate.

“I think we can cut it in half with it being right there on 95,” explained Kirby. “A new building on I-95 cuts response times. The whole council is looking at the future for the whole system EMS rescue and fire.”

The EMS station will be one mile from the interstate.

Local Fire Station in Dire Need of Repairs

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) - For more than 60 years, the Wagstaff Circle Volunteer Fire Department has served the community in northern Chesterfield. But now, the firehouse needs help from the people it protects. "We help the community and now we're hoping they can help us in return," says Fire Captain Matt Glasser.

Chesterfield Fire and EMS provides the firehouse with equipment and pays the building’s utilities, but the volunteers are in charge of upkeep. So firefighters just created a Go Fund Me account to raise $50,000 for a multitude of projects.

Firefighters were digging lines amid good weather conditions to begin corralling the first major wildfires of the season. As of Thursday afternoon, about 56,000 acres had burned.
