We had a great time helping out at the @friendsofjocassee VIP trash pick up at Devils Fork State Park this past Saturday! Thanks to everyone who came out and made it a success!
If you haven’t already stop by our Wells Hwy offices for a reusable shopping bag! These are a great way to cut down on your plastic consumption!
Great job to everyone! Proud of you for your accomplishment and showing that we will NEVER FORGET!Around 20 first responders participated in a 9/11 Stadium Climb and climbed the steps of the West-Oak High School football stadium 10 times in full gear early this morning.

After a 3 day deployment as part of the SC Firefighter Mobilization Plan, #teamoconee is back at home and safe. We are grateful that Hurricane Dorian didn’t cause the level of destruction to SC that she was capable of.
This is the 4th September in a row that #teamoconee has joined the “flood fight” with fire departments across SC to help our communities in a time of need.

Congrats to the team members listed below who spent a long weekend taking their swiftwater rescuer class. They spent an evening in class and two days practicing skills on the Nantahala and Chattooga Rivers. While you certainly head home wore out at the end, the lifesaving skills learned could easily make a difference one day in The Land Beside the Water.

Today was a day full of evaluating and documenting the fill and dump rate of all water tankers across Oconee. The fourteen water tankers have a carrying capacity ranging from 1800-3000 gallons. The apparatus are used throughout the county to deliver water whet hydrants are limited or even nonexistent.
Thank you to all the volunteer and career members who came out and helped today, some slugging through a couple hours of rain!
Full house tonight for our Fire & Rescue Chiefs Meeting. Thank you to our guests Chris and Sheila from the State Fire Community Risk Reduction team for discussing program goals with us for the remainder of 2019. We even got in a little bit of training. Thank you to Capt. Brady Norris for covering wound packing skills.
Capt. Norris did an excellent job covering the skill. Kudos to State Fire for jumping in and training.
That's a pure genius idea for dressing practice. Way better than moulage. However, also remind me to pass on y'all's next BBQ!! 😂🤣😂
#TeamOconee was proud to be able to answer the call to help and provide manpower and apparatus to Cherokee County. Together, we were able to provide manpower for continued fire suppression as well as operate Crossroads Tanker 13 for just over 25 hours to help bring the incident to an end. Tanker 13 made more than 40 trips from the fire scene to a local farm pond to supply water to a ladder truck. Seven additional tankers from the region worked as a task force to sustain 800 gallons a minute of needed flow.
Thank to everyone who gave of their time and to everyone in the background who provided the needed supper to deploy.

Congratulations to the 2019 Oconee EMT Basic class. The EMT Basic course is six (6) months long and over 200 hours of lecture, skills development, testing and clinical ride time. These students have spent the last six months of their time meeting at least two nights a week and every third Saturday to help prepare them for their NREMT Skills and Written testing which will be taking place over the next few months. Wish them the best of luck and again Thank You for supporting your community. Big thanks to Lead Instructor Dave Watson and all of the other instructors who helped throughout the class, you have done an excellent job as always. Also Thank You South Carolina School of Medicine for sponsoring the course.
Emergency Medical Technicians provide out of hospital emergency medical care and transportation for critical and emergent patients who access the emergency medical services (EMS) system. EMTs have the basic knowledge and skills necessary to stabilize and safely transport patients ranging from non-emergency and routine medical transports to life threatening emergencies. Emergency Medical Technicians function as part of a comprehensive EMS response system, under medical oversight. Emergency Medical Technicians perform interventions with the basic equipment typically found on an ambulance. Emergency Medical Technicians are a critical link between the scene of an emergency and the health care system.
