Beach Wheel Chairs
Physically challenged persons enjoy our beaches by using a wheelchair designed especially for the beach. The Fire Department maintains beach wheelchairs that enable "mobility challenged" persons to go out onto the beach and enjoy the seashore.
Persons borrowing the chair must be able to load it into and off of their vehicle without the Fire Department's assistance. Call 843-869-2505 ext 217 or come by the fire station to make arrangements.
There is no charge for the use of beach wheelchairs but donations are appreciated so that the wheelchairs can be maintained. A liability waiver is required.
Gym Availability
The Fire Department maintains a small gym at the fire station. Feel free to drop by for a workout as the gym is available to all (a release of liability form will be required.)
T-Shirts
T-shirts are for sale at the fire station! Makes a wonderful gift or just get one for yourself!
