If you are thinking of applying for this department run for the hills. The level of leadership incompetence and blatant employee mistreatment is astronomical. They flaunt their ISO class one rating but underneath is faulty equipment and falsified capabilities. Officers here act with impunity and are only held accountable when it is convenient, lower level fire fighters are treated differently based on how much leadership “likes” them and there is zero professionalism. They have ZERO and I mean ZERO push for their employees to promote and in some cases actively prevent and discourage them from doing so to “protect the service”. The leadership at all levels puts minimal to no effort into developing young firefighters which leads to burnout and a turnover rate the likes of which you’ve never seen. This is a stepping stone department and nothing more and until they realize the cancer that is their leadership is an issue they will continue to be one. All this being said there are some standout people who do care and are giving it their all however the overall rot swallows any effort given by these individuals. Go somewhere else if you are looking into the lowcountry and save yourself the headache.
