Clarendon County Fire Rescue

Last Friday, Clarendon County Fire Rescue proudly celebrated the grand opening and ribbon cutting of Station 10, located in the Davis Station community.

The ceremony brought together many community leaders and supporters, including the County Administrator Ackerman and Deputy Administrator Anderson, County Council Chairman Johnson, and District 1 Councilman Richardson, Representative Pedalino, representatives from the Chamber, and members of the department. Their presence highlighted the strong partnership between local government, community organizations, and emergency services.

Chief Jason Dennis shared that the new station represents more than just a building—it reflects a shared commitment to safety, service, and the well-being of everyone who lives in or visits the Davis Station community. The station will provide our members with the space, equipment, and resources needed to respond more quickly, effectively, and safely when emergencies occur.

During the ceremony, we also took time to recognize the dedicated men and women of Clarendon County Fire Rescue who answer the call to serve every day, often responding toward unknown danger while others seek safety.

A special moment of the event was honoring longtime volunteer Captain John Buchko for his commitment to the community. With over 46 years of experience, including 31 years serving Clarendon County, Captain Buchko remains one of our most active volunteers. In 2025 alone, he responded the engine to 85 of the 139 calls dispatched to the Davis Station area—an incredible example of dedication and service.

This new station stands as a symbol of readiness, protection, and community pride, and we are grateful to everyone who helped make this project possible.

Thank you to our community for your continued support and to our members for their unwavering service. … See MoreSee Less
