Today we reflect and remember the over 2,700 people at the World Trade Centers, 184 people at the Pentagon, and 40 heroes of Flight 93 in Pennsylvania that were from 104 countries- that died in the attacks of 9/11. 440 of those were first responders. We also recognize the over 1,000 people who have died since from working at 9/11.
Please pause today to remember our neighbors and friends lost on September 11th.

Did you know?
St. John’s Fire District participates in an automatic aid agreement with multiple Charleston area fire departments.
What does automatic aid do for you?
Regardless of where you live on Johns Island or in St. John’s Fire District you get the closest unit. Often times you get multiple fire apparatus from different departments.
This was on display yesterday morning at a significant vehicle collision on Main Road.
Both St. John’s and Charleston Fire Department responded to a difficult vehicle extrication. Crews from both departments worked for over 30 minutes to free a passenger of the vehicle. They were transported to a local hospital with serious injuries.
Technical rescue expertise from both departments contributed to the rescue and removal of the vehicles occupant.
Participating automatic aid departments include St. John’s Fire District, Charleston Fire Department, Mount Pleasant Fire Department, North Charleston Fire Department, James Island PSD, St. Andrews PSD, and Isle of Palms Fire Department.

Congratulations to Captain Mark Edmunds on his promotion to Senior Captain! Captain Edmunds has been serving with the Fire District since 2010! Mark serves on Engine 704 - C Shift.
How is a Senior Captain different than a Captain? Senior Captain's fill in at Battalion Chief and act up when a Battalion Chief is off work or on vacation!
