SOCASTEE, SC (WBTW) – The Socastee Firehouse is welcoming its newest member this weekend, Gus!

The announcement came as a Facebook post from the station.

Gus is joining the firehouse from Grand Strand Humane Society.

“They tell us he has a little age on him,” the post read in part. “But we think he is just a seasoned veteran.”

Tony Casey with HCFR said the department has several firehouse dogs at stations across the county.

As for Gus, his department said he’s already ‘fitting right in.’
