Congratulations Chief Grant!

Congratulations to Michael (Ben) Grant who was promoted to Fire Chief of the Rock Hill Fire Department. 👏

As Fire Chief, he’ll oversee the Rock Hill Fire Department’s 142 employees across three divisions: Fire Suppression, Fire Prevention/Inspections, and Administration. The department operates six fire stations in addition to Headquarters/Rock Hill Fire Museum and the Rock Hill Fire Training Center. The RHFD proudly maintains an Insurance Services Office (ISO) Class 1 rating, the highest rating given to departments, indicating superior property fire protection and emergency response services.

Help us congratulate Ben on his promotion!

Tonight crews from Rock Hill, McConnells, and Oakdale participated in Mutual Aid Training at the Rock Hill Fire Training Center. Fire Attack, Search, and Ventilation tactics were practiced. This was a long overdue exercise to build the working relationship between neighboring Career and Volunteer Departments that may have to rely on each other in an emergency situation.

Solid work by all involved

"They climbed to rise. To rise to the cries 1000 feet above them, to rise to the defense of the firefighter beside them, to rise beyond duty, to a place of selfless devotion".
