Yesterday, E704 hosted new employees from the Charleston County Consolidated Emergency Communications Center. They toured the station, learned about some of our equipment, and asked questions on how they can best support our crews while they are on incidents. This was a great experience for both our firefighters as well as our new dispatchers! Welcome!

Last night at approximately 10:05 PM, Charleston County Consolidated Emergency Communications Center alerted units with St. John’s Fire District, Charleston Fire Department, Charleston County Sheriff's Office, and Charleston County EMS of a possible structure fire on Wine Road, Johns Island.
Initial reports indicated occupants were still inside the home trying to evacuate. STJFD Engine 705 arrived on scene and reported fire venting from the front of the structure. They verified all occupants were out of the home and began an initial fire attack.
Six persons were displaced and being assisted by Red Cross. One occupant was treated for an injury.

You’ve seen our new building at 825 Main Road. Now hear a bit about the incredible things our Fleet and Facilities team makes happen. Our goal is to keep our trucks on the road and our fire stations like home. #TheDistrict
