As part of the NVFC's 50th anniversary celebration, we're continuing our State Association Spotlight series. This week, we're highlighting the South Carolina State Firefighters’ Association, which is celebrating 121 years of supporting and advocating for firefighters across the Palmetto State. The association's legacy dates back to founding father Chief Louis Behrens, whose forward-thinking leadership helped establish a one percent tax on fire insurance premiums paid by property holders to benefit South Carolina firefighters. Today, South Carolina continues to look toward the future of the fire service through initiatives like the Fire Officer Academy: The Company Officer (FOA). Created to address a critical gap in middle-management training, the competitive program has built a network of nearly 200 company officers representing volunteer, career, and combination departments across the state. Its impact has also drawn interest from fire service leaders in other states who have audited the program. And a fun fact about the Palmetto State: South Carolina actually produces more peaches than its neighbor, the Peach State! 🍑 Join today for just $24/year and stand with volunteers across South Carolina and nationwide 👉 nvfc.org/join
