Our goals for preparation go far beyond the fireground or incident scene. Much of our leaders' development happens in the fire station and during downtime. STJFD hosted officer development by Advanced Selections on "Having the Tough Conversations." This interactive class allowed our captains and battalion chiefs to navigate professional conversations and practice giving feedback or handling complaints.

Multiple response agencies are on scene of a multi-vehicle collision with injuries on Maybank Hwy at Headquarters Plantation intersection on the Stono Bridge.
Traffic will be impacted. Stay alert for emergency responders working in the roadway.

The bridge was temporarily closed for operations. There may be further delays. Scene is with police.
This was a result of left lane driver going over the yellow and plowing into left lane driver on other side almost head on. Very sad and very worrisome as we have no dividers between the two sides.
St. John's Fire District is there anything to be done to improve safety at this intersection? We live in Headquarters and watch people run this red light daily. It is so scary! Also people can not see the light changing yellow to red when the sun glare is occurring. Residents have asked for help and pedestrian islands were installed but it seems flashing roadway signs alerting drivers of the light change (like the ones on the crosstown) would be most beneficial.
Members of St. John's Fire District - Rescue Company 1 have spent the last four days honing their skills at the South Carolina State Firefighters' Association Fire Service Improvement Conference. These team members attended two training programs focused on Building and Structural Collapse and Heavy Vehicle rescue.
Training never ends - and neither does our commitment to serving our community!
