During the most recent Newberry County Council meeting, Tommy Long, Newberry County Emergency Services director, and Brandon Wicker, Emergency Services coordinator, recognized the Fairview Fire Department and Lake Murray Rescue Squad as part of a new tradition Newberry County Council has initiated to recognize the volunteer departments!
Fairview Fire Department and Lake Murray Rescue Squad are each located in the Lake Murray Public Safety Complex, located at the northwest intersection of Macedonia Church Road and Seibert Road servicing the southern portion of Newberry County.
During their presentation, Mr. Long stated the Lake Murray Rescue Squad has an active membership consisting of 16 volunteer members with over 176 years of service, with the longest-serving member being active since 1993. Exceptional medical care is their primary focus, and they continually look for ways to improve service to the district.
Mr. Wicker recognized the Fairview Fire Department and stated that in addition to the main station on Seibert Road, there is also a substation on Ira Kinard Road. They currently have 26 members and responded to 149 calls in 2024. One of the members saved a citizen’s life in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene when a tree fell on their house.
Newberry County Council thanked the volunteers for their service, noting that they are the backbone of Newberry County.
