Sandy Branch VFD Achieves "Fire Safe SC" Status Sixth Year in a Row (2019-2024)
The Sandy Branch Volunteer Fire Department has received recognition as a "Fire Safe SC" Fire Department for the sixth year in a row. We are the only fire department in McCormick County to receive this recognition. Statewide, only about 20% of the fire departments make the level of commitment needed to achieve this goal.
Fire Safe SC Departments involve themselves with Community Risk Reduction (CRR) through education, smoke alarm installation, in-home safety visits, involvement in community events, and doing preplanned inspections of commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings. They also record data on calls through the National Fire Incident Reporting Systems (NFIRS) that can be used statewide to address areas of most concern, whether geographic or risk specific.
If you live in SLV or the surrounding area, and would be interested in having an in-home safety visit, or having us conduct an inspection of your current smoke alarms, please send us a message by clicking here or send us an email to sandybranch@wctel.net.
Smoke alarms that are over 10 years old should be replaced as the alarm sensors degrade over time.
