Horry County Fire Rescue announced increased utilization of their fireboat this summer, aiming to enhance rescue services and safety education in the region. The fireboat, a vital asset for maritime emergencies, will be deployed more frequently to ensure quick response times during incidents on local waterways.
In addition to emergency response, the fireboat will serve as a platform for safety education initiatives.

This proactive approach is designed to equip residents and visitors with essential knowledge to prevent accidents and respond effectively in emergencies.
The initiative reflects Horry County Fire Rescue's commitment to ensuring the safety of the community and fostering a culture of preparedness. With the summer months bringing increased recreational activities on the water, the expanded use of the fireboat is a timely and crucial step in safeguarding lives and promoting responsible boating practices.
