Horry County Fire Rescue will hold a “fire alarm blitz” on Saturday to install smoke detectors across the county.
Firefighters will go door-to-door in four areas of the county to install the alarms, according to a press release from Horry County Government. Each of the county’s four battalions will be working at a different location:
- Battalion 1: Woodridge Mobile Home Park off Mineola Avenue in Little River
- Battalion 2: Backwoods Mobile Home Park off Peachtree Rd. in Socastee
- Battalion 3: Saddlebrook Mobile Home Park off Long Avenue Extension
- Battalion 4: Chase Street off Hwy 917
“Smoke detectors save lives, and we are committed to ensuring the fire and life safety of Horry County residents,” said Horry County Fire Rescue Chief Joseph Tanner. “The smoke alarm blitz has been a very successful program here, and we will continue to host these and other fire safety events in our community.”
This event was previously scheduled for December but was rescheduled due to inclement weather.
