With thunderstorms in the forecast throughout the day, MIGCFD crews use the time for indoor training. Seen here, Engineer Miller (78A), gives a class on chain saw maintenance and operations. Learning proper PM results in less down time and wear and tear on our equipment.

Friday evening units were dispatched by Horry County 911 for a motor vehicle with entrapment. Engine 76, Ladder 79 and Medic 79 assisted Horry County PD on scene. While operating Medic & Engine 77 handled a medical call. And Engine 78 handled a lift assist, all in the 7604 box.

Tonight the department answered it's 4,000th alarm for 2019. That's 1,480 calls more than this date in 2016. We couldn't do it without the hardwork of our dedicated employees. Along with the help of our mutual aid partners from Horry SC Fire Rescue, Midway Fire Rescue, and Georgetown Fire/EMS
