FLORENCE, SC (WBTW) – The West Florence Fire Department was recognized this week as being the number one contributor to the MUSC Burned Children’s Fund statewide.

According to the press release, this is the third year in a row that the West Florence Fire Department has been recognized as being the number one contributor to the Burned Children’s Fund.
