The first quarter of the Association’s fiscal year in the fall is the Quarterly Training, a day-long business meeting and seminar event. Fire Service Improvement Conference is the quarterly training of the winter; Legislative Day in the spring; and Fire-Rescue conference in the summer.
Scholarships
The South Carolina Firefighters’ Foundation sponsors two scholarships, the Chief Larry Williams Scholarship and the Sam Carbis Scholarship, for members of the Association who are in good standing with their agency and the Association.
LAST Team Training
The Local Assistance State Team (LAST) Program is a collaborative effort between the Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. The Foundation realized that to best assist families and departments who had lost a firefighter in the line of duty – they needed to have trained personnel on the ground and available to help when requested within six hours of death. This could only be accomplished by developing a team of trained responders in each state who could be deployed immediately upon notification of a line-of-duty death.
