A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE FIREFIGHTERS OF THE WARE SHOALS FIRE DEPARTMENT FOR DECADES OF OUTSTANDING SERVICE TO THE FIRE DISTRICT AND TO CELEBRATE THE GRAND OPENING OF THEIR NEW FIRE STATION.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the Ware Shoals Fire Department will celebrate the opening of a spacious new fire station on March 31, 2019; and

Whereas, the new facility was built on land donated by the Ware Shoals Community Foundation and will replace the smaller, former one on East Main Street built in 1967; and

Whereas, a ladder truck, a much-needed addition to the community, as well as another new truck, will be housed in the five-bay fire department, which has room for a sixth truck when needed; and

Whereas, in their new station, the firefighters will enjoy a training room that holds thirty, a kitchen, a laundry room, storage space, two offices, ample parking outside, and a dispatch center; and

Whereas, under the leadership of the Ware Shoals Town Council's Fire Department Committee, the new fire house was built to provide the continued excellent service of the Ware Shoals firefighters; and

Whereas, the citizens of the Ware Shoals community are indebted to the courageous firefighters who serve their Fire Department and who trust in the Lord's promise, "inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me." Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor the firefighters of the Ware Shoals Fire Department for decades of outstanding service to the fire district and celebrate the grand opening of their new fire station.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Fire Chief Rodney Boyter.
