Lowcountry Fire & EMS Weekend, November 9-10

July 11, 2013

Colleton County Fire-Rescue is proud to announce the FIRST ever Lowcountry Fire & EMS weekend, November 9th & 10th, 2013.

The Lowcountry Fire & EMS weekend is designed to bring quality training to local and state Fire & EMS services. Most conferences focus on a specific topic and do not encompass the wide range of job functions for which modern day Fire & EMS agencies are responsible. This weekend will provide various training opportunities for firefighters to chief officers and for first responders to Paramedics. The instructors for this weekend are state, national and international speakers with a combined average experience of 25 years. Never has such a diverse compilation of Fire & EMS training been offered by such a diverse instructor group in this area. In short, you will find something for everyone during this weekend.
