Four weeks of being challenged mentally, physically and emotionally have paid off for our three newest direct hires. 💪🔥

Welcome to Rock Hill Fire, C. Cathey, B. Comer and F. Diaz. 🚒

Congratulations Direct Hire Class #6 🚒🧑‍🚒

Today is a proud day for the City of Rock Hill, SC and the Rock Hill Fire Department, as we recognize three new direct hires for the completion of their training and the beginning of a new chapter in their careers: Cody Cathey (Engine 3), Briley Comer (Engine 2) and Fernando Diaz (Engine 5).

Unlike our traditional recruit academy, they each arrived with some form of previous fire training and experience. Over the past four weeks, they have been challenged mentally, physically and emotionally to learn what it means to serve as a member of the RHFD.

Help us congratulate them and officially welcome them to the Rock Hill Fire Department! 🎉👏

Do you know the difference between the sound a smoke alarm makes vs a carbon monoxide alarm? 🚨

If you hear either one of these sounds, Get Out, Stay Out and CALL 9-1-1.

Don’t forget these additional tips:
🚨 test alarms monthly
🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 have a family escape plan and practice regularly
🔋 change batteries yearly or if they start to chirp
💨 have a smoke alarm in every bedroom + all common ways and have at least one carbon monoxide alarm on each level
⏰ replace alarms every 10 years or based on manufacturer recommendations

🎉 Congratulations, Engineer DJ Turney! 🎉

The Rock Hill Fire Department is proud to congratulate Engineer DJ Turney on successfully completing the South Carolina State Firefighters’ Association Fire Officer Academy!

The Fire Officer Academy is an intensive six-day program consisting of 90+ hours of training designed to challenge participants and strengthen the leadership skills needed to serve their crews, departments, and communities.

Throughout the academy, participants tackled a demanding curriculum covering leadership, legal responsibilities, report writing, engine and truck company operations, incident command, conflict resolution, and physical fitness.

DJ’s commitment to professional development and willingness to accept the challenge demonstrates his dedication to becoming a stronger leader and continuing to provide the highest level of service to the Rock Hill community.

🔋 We’re Charging Into Fire Safety

To kick off Fire Prevention Month and (October 4-10), Andrew Brownfield stopped by HQ to deliver fire safety toolkits (provided by State Farm and National Fire Protection Association) that firefighters can use when talking to children about fire prevention and safety. 🚒🔥

This year’s Fire Prevention Week focuses on reducing the risk of lithium-ion battery fires. Use your charging superpowers and remember these lithium-ion battery safety tips.

• use manufacturer approved chargers
• charge on a hard, flat surface
• unplug devices when fully charged
• charge large items outside when possible
• stop using your device if it feels hot, starts to swell, smells strange, leaks, smokes or makes noise
