Safety Spotlight: Midway Fire Rescue

February 10, 2025

The Health & Safety Committee is proud to highlight Midway Fire Rescue and the redevelopment of their Job-Related Agility Test for the February Safety Spotlight.

Georgetown County received an Honorable Mention in the 2024 J. Mitchell Gram Memorial Awards Competition. Presented by the South Carolina Association of Counties, the award recognizes counties that address community challenges, implement operational improvements or enhance their residents' quality of life in a unique way. Georgetown County was recognized for development of a new firefighter ability test, which replaced an outdated test and is better able to get an accurate gauge of a firefighter's ability to perform their job duties. Development of the new test was undertaken by the Safety Committee at Midway Fire Rescue.

Please reach out to Midway Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Peter Copeland for more info on the JRAT guidelines.
