Horry County PRIDE wants to recognize and thank the hundreds of Horry County Emergency Management professionals for a job well done in putting out the recent wildfires. We are proud of you…but not surprised.

Through regular attendance at the County Council’s Public Safety Committee meetings, we have learned about the ongoing, extensive, professional preparation and training our emergency management men and women undergo to be prepared to protect the county’s citizens and property.

We thank you for the hours you spent in preparation and training.

We thank you for the hours you spent managing and fighting the fires.

We thank you for the hours you spent evacuating and caring for individuals, families, and pets. 

We thank you for the hours you spent away from your own homes and families.

And lastly, we thank you for getting the job done. You are our heroes! (more…)
