City fire truck a hit at conference | News | The Press and Standard

The South Carolina State Firefighters' Association held its 112th annual conference in Myrtle Beach this past week, drawing a crowd of nearly 5,000 firefighters for training, seminars, exhibits and networking opportunities. One of the most popular educational exhibits was the association-sponsored

One of the most popular educational exhibits was the association-sponsored “History Booth,” in which the Walterboro Fire Department displayed its 1930 American LaFrance fire engine. According to Carter Jones, special projects coordinator for the Firefighters’ Association, “The display of Walterboro’s antique engine was a special treat for our members and provided the firefighters a unique chance to travel back in time and catch a glimpse of your city’s rich history.”

Fire fire station to honor Charleston 9

On the heels of the tenth anniversary of the Sofa Super Store fire, the Charleston fire department is a step closer to building a new station next to the memorial for the nine firefighters who died in the blaze. The station will tie into the memorial for the fallen firefighters.

Plans to build a new station next to the memorial go back to December 2014. It was part of a 20-year plan to renovate and build new police and fire stations.

Tippett hopes the new station will help provide better service to the community while honoring the Charleston Nine.

"The presence of the station will probably be a larger symbol," he said. "It will become a commanding visual when you're driving up and down Savannah Highway and project to the community that we're there."
