🚒 It’s the perfect day to get a Byrd’s-eye view of our beautiful city! ☀️

Ladder 3 B- Shift took advantage of the great weather today to incorporate some aerial training into their physical conditioning, including ladder climbs and working from the aerial device.

Training isn’t just about staying in shape—it’s about staying proficient, confident, and ready to perform when our community needs us most. The crews of our career department train day in and day out so that when the call comes, we’re ready to answer. 💪🔥

Training today. Ready for tomorrow.

🚨 INCIDENT NOTIFICATION – PAST INCIDENT 🚨

On September 9, 2026, Goose Creek Fire Department crews were dispatched to Westview Boulevard near Carter Drive for a motor vehicle accident involving an entrapment.

Engine 1, Rescue 1, Medic 1, Ladder 2, and Battalion 1 responded. Upon arrival, crews found a single vehicle off the roadway with significant damage and one patient trapped in the rear passenger compartment.

Firefighters quickly began extrication operations, removing the rear driver’s-side door to gain access to the patient. The patient was successfully removed from the vehicle and transferred to the awaiting medical crew for continued assessment and treatment.

Due to the severity of the patient’s injuries, additional fire department personnel assisted with the transport to the trauma center at HCA Trident Medical Center.

We appreciate the coordination and teamwork of all agencies involved in the response.

No further information regarding the patient’s condition is available at this time.
