A giant thank you and congratulations to Commissioner Bill Thomae! Commissioner Thomae recently stepped off the Commission after 9+ years of service to the District representing Kiawah Island.
Bill was gracious with his time and spent countless hours and hours leading the Building Committee through several large capital projects and fire station construction projects. He was an advocate for firefighters and staff and supported the District in numerous ways!
We wish Bill and his wife health and happiness in their next adventure! #thedistrict

***BURN BAN STILL IN EFFECT***
Yesterday, STJFD firefighters responded to multiple outdoor fires including two fires that consumed several acres on Johns Island and Wadmalaw Islands. STJFD and response partners spent nearly 6 hours working an approximately 10 acre fire on Johns Island near Maybank Hwy and Zelasko. While first responders were working the Maybank fire, STJFD firefighters responded to a several acre fire on Wadmalaw Island. Additional fires included large leaf piles or burning in ditches. These photos are just from yesterday.
These incidents take away resources for true medical and fire emergencies.

STJFD and Charleston Fire Department are on scene of a fire in the woods near Zelasko Drive and Maybank Hwy. This is causing a considerable amount of smoke in the area. First responders are on scene working to contain the fire.
As a reminder, a statewide burn ban is still in effect.

***BURN BAN***
The South Carolina Forestry Commission is issuing a State Forester’s Burning Ban for all counties, effective at 7 a.m. Friday, April 17.
A State Forester’s Burning Ban prohibits all outdoor burning, including yard debris burning, prescribed burning, campfires, bonfires and other recreational fires in all unincorporated areas of the state.
Forestry Commission officials cite a particularly dangerous mix of elevated wildfire risk factors through the weekend that warrant limiting all ignitions in the interest of public safety.
Rapidly escalating drought conditions across the state, a critical decrease in relative humidities over the next several days and gusty winds that are expected to accompany an approaching cold front will combine to create extreme fire danger.
