Clarendon County Fire Rescue wants to recognize the amazing volunteers we have in our department. Meet Lieutenant Dale Hodge, a dedicated member of our team, who serves the Brewington- Station 11 area. Lieutenant Hodge has been a volunteer for 21 years and in that time, he has shown incredible commitment and passion for helping others. He is 65 years old, married, has 4 children, and 5 grandchildren. Lieutenant Hodge is retired from Georgia Pacific Wood Products after 43 years and now enjoys his time on the farm. His positive attitude and dedication make him an asset to our team, and we are truly grateful to have him. When asked why he wanted to volunteer, he stated, "I wanted to be a firefighter for the longest time, but my job at that time would not allow me to take time off to attend the training. I changed jobs and my supervisor told me he would work with me anytime I needed for the fire department. He allowed me to take whatever time I needed away to help my community during emergencies." We asked Lieutenant Hodge what he would say to anyone wanting to join the fire service. "Go for it! Don’t be a selfish person because the fire department family is something you will not find anywhere else. If you are considering volunteering, get in it now because this is a great organization to be a part of." Thank you, Lieutenant Hodge for your hard work and dedication to keeping our community safe.
