At the most recent Newberry County Council meeting, Hazmat Station 12, Prosperity Fire Station 2, and Prosperity Rescue Station 17 were recognized as part of a longstanding tradition to highlight our volunteer departments and the vital services they provide to our community.
Emergency Services Coordinator Brandon Wicker recognized Hazmat Station 12, noting the department has 11 members, with eight certified at the Technician Level and three certified at the Operations Level. The team meets monthly for training and equipment testing and responded to eight calls in 2025. Mr. Wicker noted that responders often do not know what type of hazards they may encounter when responding to a call.
The Prosperity Rescue Squad, established in 1963, currently consists of approximately 20 members, including First Responders, EMTs, and Paramedics. The squad responds to an average of 150–200 calls each year, provides support for local events, and hosts the Newberry County Dive Team, which maintains strong working relationships with surrounding agencies.
Prosperity Fire Department Chief Robert Dennis highlighted the history of Prosperity Fire Station 2, noting that two members have served the department for more than 50 years. In 2025, the station responded to 218 calls.
