The 2024 STJFD Firefighter of the Year: Garrett Mack
With multiple nominations, Firefighter Garrett Mack is a highly regarded Firefighter, teammate, and friend. FF Mack is articulate with his tools and apparatus and ensures they are more than ready. Whether it is the heat of summer or the cold of winter, there is no one more thorough with their truck check off and daily training. Assigned to Rescue 701, FF Mack has devoted his time to being a better firefighter and an asset to the organization. As one person put it, "Bring your lunch pail with Mr. Mack, you're going to work."
It is the privilege of Fire Chief Ryan Kunitzer to award the 2024 Firefighter of the Year to Garrett Mack.

Congratulations G Mack!
So proud of this young man!
Great motto! Congratulations Garrett!
Over the next several weeks, we will highlight the accomplishments of your St. John's Firefighters and support staff. On Saturday, our members, family, and friends met at The Citadel to celebrate promotions, acknowledge achievements and meritorious service, and highlight our personnel of the year. The event was highlighted by a keynote address from Citadel Assistant Commandment and decorated retired U.S. Army Colonel Heyward Hutson.
"Thank you to our members at St. John's who, day in and day out, strive for excellence, provide exemplary care, and are some of the best firefighters in the world. It is a privilege to highlight their work," said Fire Chief Ryan Kunitzer. "Thank you to the Citadel for hosting our event, Charleston County Councilmember Joe Boykin and our Commissioners for their continued support, and our support staff who worked hard to put on a great event."

STJFD, thank you for keeping us updated. Prayers for all those involved in the accident. 🙏
My husband was a truck driver for Many many years. And I know about people cutting off trucks . It happens Alot. But people do fall asleep because they are over tired. Or like one person said texting. Possible looking at paper work to find an Address. Mind you I'm not putting anyone down, unfortunately things happen. My main concern is the driver being okay. 🙏
It’s hard to believe CDL Professional drivers have so much trouble keeping their trucks upright and out of the ditches. Drug and alcohol test should be considered. So unsafe
March 2nd was Read Across America Day, celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday! Assistant Chief Nathan Prouse and support staff members Ms. Stephanie and Ms. Danielle read books to the children at Mount Zion.
