Merriwether Fire Department

The South Carolina Forestry Commission has issued a statewide Red Flag Fire Alert effective immediately until further notice.

Due to dry conditions, low humidity, increased winds, and little to no expected rainfall, the risk of wildfire is elevated.

We strongly encourage everyone to avoid any outdoor burning at this time. Even a small fire can spread quickly under these conditions.

Please use caution and help us keep our community safe. Stay alert and share this information with others.

Today, several members of the Merriwether Fire Department are attending the Savannah River Firefighters Symposium — a premier regional training event focused on strengthening skills, leadership, and interagency collaboration.

Training never stops in the fire service. Events like this allow our firefighters to sharpen their abilities, learn from industry leaders, and bring valuable knowledge back to our department and community.

We are committed to continuous improvement and providing the highest level of service to the citizens we proudly serve.
