NCFD and City of Goose Creek Fire Department recently teamed up for a joint training session focused on railcar tank dome configurations and associated valve assemblies. Crews also gained hands-on experience with the Chlorine Institute “C” Kit and Indian Springs Emergency Response Kits, sharpening their skills in proper selection, application, and deployment during hazardous materials incidents.

A big thank you to Heapco for providing their tank railcar dome trailer and supporting this valuable training opportunity. Strong partnerships and continuous training keep our teams prepared and our communities safe.

🚒⚓ **Training Through Partnership** ⚓🚒

Members of the North Charleston Fire Department and Charleston Fire Department ecently conducted a joint walk-through of the U.S. Navy's Robert F. Kennedy (T-AO-208).

These familiarization tours allow firefighters to better understand the layout, hazards, and unique challenges presented by large vessels operating in our port. By working together and learning directly from maritime partners, our crews are better prepared to respond quickly and safely should an emergency occur.

Opportunities like this strengthen regional cooperation and ensure we’re ready to protect our community—both on land and on the water.

This week, NCFD had the opportunity to participate in a joint training exercise with the Charleston County Sheriff's Office at the Juvenile Detention Center.

The drill focused on a rescue scenario involving an individual trapped in razor wire—an uncommon but high-risk situation that requires careful coordination, specialized equipment, and clear communication between agencies.

Training like this helps ensure that when real emergencies happen, responders are prepared to act quickly and safely. We appreciate the collaboration and the commitment from everyone involved to keeping our community and facilities safe.
