New Horry County Fire Rescue

Horry County Fire Rescue is now better equipped to fight fires.
Monday, fire officials held a special ceremony to put this new fire truck in service.
It comes equipped with a 1,000 gallon water pump.
Firefighters rolled the truck out at University Station #23 in Conway.
Horry County Fire Rescue spokesman Todd Cartner said the new truck will come in handy. "We need these new apparatus so we can put them in our busier areas and provide better more efficient service to the community."
The public is invited to bring children to see the new truck or any truck at any fire station, to help get to know your firefighters and understand some of the equipment they use.
