Established in 1994, Fire-Rescue provides emergency services to an immense response area, covering 1132 square miles. The Department was formed on 01-January-1994, when the County Council abolished 16 volunteer fire districts to establish one Fire-Rescue agency (See Department History). Operating from 35 fire stations located in the beautiful South Carolina Lowcountry, the agency is rated as an ISO Class 3 Fire Department. The staff is comprised of 150 volunteer firefighters, supported by 91 cross-trained career personnel. Fire-Rescue operates a fleet of 129 vehicles including 38 engines, 34 tenders, 14 ambulances, 2 E-One 95’ Platforms, 2 Heavy Rescues, 2 Hazardous Materials Units and 1 ARFF truck.

All career staff members are cross-trained as Firefighter IIs and Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT, Advanced or Paramedic), an effort that significantly improved operations for the citizens.
