The Charleston Fire and Police departments have secured a federal grant to bolster public safety at the bustling Port of Charleston. The fire department will utilize this funding to acquire a specialized portable pump and advanced marine firefighting training, addressing a critical gap in their ability to respond to ship fires. This new equipment and training will ensure the department is well-equipped to handle low-frequency but potentially catastrophic incidents, ultimately enhancing safety at the port and protecting the wider community.
