Three days. Real‑world scenarios. Life‑saving skills.
Our latest Collapse Shoring Class pushed students to evaluate structural damage, determine critical shoring points, and build safe, effective rescue shoring for patient access. Special thank you to Charleston County School District for letting us use the former Mount Zion school for a workspace.
Huge shoutout to everyone who showed up ready to learn and ready to work. This is how responders get better, stronger, and safer. #thedistrict

***Incident Update- River Road***
Our crews continue to monitor a mulch pile fire located on River Road near Plowground Road.
Over the past 72 hours, fire department personnel have been working closely with contractors to reduce the size of the pile and bring the situation under control. Contractors on site have been actively assisting by pumping water from nearby ponds to support suppression efforts.
While smoke persists this morning, there was a significant reduction in pile size and volume of smoke. Favorable weather conditions today support further resolution and total extinguishment of the fire.
"This incident is frustrating for local residents and fire departments involved. It has required a considerable commitment of resources from local fire departments." said Fire Chief Ryan Kunitzer. "We appreciate the ongoing cooperation from contractors on scene. We are working to resolve this incident as fast as possible. We are also working closely with our County and state partners to address enforcement related to this incident."

STJFD continues to work alongside private contractors to mitigate the mulch and debris pile fire in River Road. Today, equipment will continue to break apart the pile.
There may be brief delays in the area while equipment is moved in or out. Smoke will contour to linger in the area.
