Ever since Rome Created the First Fire Brigade in 115 B.C. the term

"Firefighting" has Defined the Oldest and Most Noble of Professions. 

This Remains True to this day with

the Myrtle Beach Fire Department using some of the most

Advanced Fire Suppression Techniques in the Country.  

Well-Trained and Well-Equipped Personnel are able to make

Strategically Aggressive Fire Attacks that Greatly Enhance the Safey of Both

the Community and Our Firefighters.

​

There are Currently Six Engine Companies each Equipped with a

2000 Gallon Per Minute Pump to Provide Maximum Protection

to areas of Fire Involvement. 

Engine Companies are readily able to deploy over 2,000 feet of Hose

from each Apparatus in a Matter of Moments.
