James Island PSD Fire Department

08/18/2026

As part of the State's Firefighter Mobilization plan, members of the JIPSD Fire Department's Engine 802 assisted Fairfield County with the Winnsboro fire at the MyLily mattress factory. The fire has been a total loss, and crews were sent to assist in containment and extinguishment operations.

This plan helps provide critical resources for incidents that overwhelm the local agencies.

Coming soon to the Island! Keep an eye out for updates!

The graphics are approved, and we are counting down the days!

This new apparatus is headed to Station #2 on Harbor View Road, better known as the Harborview Hilton.

Just a few of the standout features include:
• Enforcer cab and chassis
• PUC pump
• Pierce Command Zone system
• Whelen warning and scene lighting throughout

This new Pierce apparatus for James Island is going to be a beauty. We can't wait to watch this truck come to life and see it delivered to the department.

Today the JIPSD Fire Department takes time out to remember the sacrifice made by the Charleston 9. We reflect on their loss, and learn from the impact they had on the local area, the progress made in all departments to ensure such a tragedy never happens again. We remember those lost, and hold their loved ones in our hearts and thoughts. 19 years have gone by, and yet sometimes it feels like yesterday.

An entire new generation of firefighters have entered the fire service since that fateful day, including those who hadn't even been born yet. And so we teach our new personnel about that loss. About the lessons learned, and about the growth that came from that tragedy.

Please join us today as we remember them, and celebrate the legacy that came from their tragedy.

NEVER FORGET......
