HORRY COUNTY ISN'T YOUR HOME
...but you're sure as heck fighting fire like it is.
Horry County Fire Rescue can't express enough how much appreciation we have for the South Carolina-wide (and some North Carolina) fire-rescue agencies that came down here to come help out with the 2,000-plus acre Covington Drive Fire in the Carolina Forest community area.
All the fire engines and brush trucks, from near and far, have arrived in Horry County filled with firefighters who are assisting in protecting lives and property like its their own family or family home on the line.
'THANK YOU' isn't enough.
There are more than 40 agencies represented here, with hundreds of personnel coming from outside Horry County, and we can't thank each firefighter individually, but what you're doing and what you've done, means the world to HCFR and our residents and guests!
This might not be your home, but you can treat it like it is, and you're always welcome to break bread around a firehouse table with HCFR!
(NOTE: A wildfire update will be shared around midday Thursday.)
