Belleville Fire Department had a very special guest join us for training last night. Christopher David Smith was officially made an honorary member of the department.

Chris has a passion for fire trucks and can often be found along the roadside waving to our firefighters as they respond to calls. Last night, he not only got to spend time with the department, but also participated in training exercises and did an outstanding job.

We are proud to welcome Chris as part of the Belleville Fire Department family and thank him for his continued support and enthusiasm for the fire service.

On Monday evening, the Belleville Fire Department conducted a traditional wetdown and push-in ceremony to place its new engine (Engine 42) into service. Engine 44, retiring after 25 years of dedicated service, carried out one final pumping operation to ceremonially anoint the new apparatus. The new engine was subsequently blessed to ensure continued safety and protection for department personnel and the Belleville community.

Please don’t burn!

SC Forestry Commission to issue statewide burning ban; restriction on all outdoor burning goes into effect at 7 a.m. Friday

COLUMBIA—The South Carolina Forestry Commission is issuing a State Forester’s Burning Ban for all counties, effective at 7 a.m. Friday, April 17.

A State Forester’s Burning Ban prohibits all outdoor burning, including yard debris burning, prescribed burning, campfires, bonfires and other recreational fires in all unincorporated areas of the state.

Forestry Commission officials cite a particularly dangerous mix of elevated wildfire risk factors through the weekend that warrant limiting all ignitions in the interest of public safety.

Rapidly escalating drought conditions across the state, a critical decrease in relative humidities over the next several days and gusty winds that are expected to accompany an approaching cold front will combine to create extreme fire danger.

"When it’s this dry – energy release component values are at high-to-critical levels – we’re just as likely, if not more, to see wildfires that are fuel-driven rather than wind-driven. Add the other volatile conditions of increased wind and lower relative humidity, and it becomes an especially precarious situation,” said SCFC Fire Chief Darryl Jones. "These conditions not only increase the likelihood of wildfires igniting easily and spreading rapidly, but would also make them more difficult for firefighters to control.”

While the ban does not apply to fires used for the preparation of food or fires used in appropriate enclosures (portable outdoor fireplaces, chimineas or permanent fire pits constructed of stone, masonry, metal or other noncombustible material that conforms with all applicable South Carolina fire codes), Forestry Commission officials urge the utmost caution burning outdoors under these exemptions.

Likewise, citizens should exercise extreme vigilance operating any equipment that could create sparks, avoid parking on dry grass and refrain from using fireworks.

The ban will stay in effect until further notice, which will come in the form of an official announcement from the Forestry Commission.
