TO CONGRATULATE THE WHITEFIELD FIRE DEPARTMENT UPON THE OCCASION OF THE DEPARTMENT'S FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF DEDICATED HEROIC SERVICE IN ANDERSON COUNTY AND TO HONOR FIRE CHIEF BILLY GUIN AND THE FIREFIGHTERS WHO SERVE THEIR COMMUNITY SO SELFLESSLY.

Whereas, the South Carolina Senate is pleased to learn that the Whitefield Fire Department celebrated its fiftieth anniversary of service in Anderson on Saturday, May 22, 2021; and

Whereas, the members of the Senate are deeply grateful to all first responders in our beloved State, like the volunteer firefighters of the Whitefield Fire Department who risk their personal safety to protect lives and property from the dangers of deadly and destructive fires; and

Whereas, for fifty years, the Whitefield Fire Department has been serving the Anderson community, responding to hundreds of incidents each year, and covering twenty-five square miles in Anderson County; and

Whereas, the Whitefield Fire Department currently is staffed with thirteen volunteer firefighters and one probationary firefighter. Its fleet is comprised of two engines, one tanker, one rescue truck, and a brush truck; and

Whereas, Fire Chief Billy Guin leads the Whitefield Department, along with Assistant Chief Bob Mosley, Captain Brad Guin, and Lieutenants Josh Guin and James A. Wortman; and

Whereas, the South Carolina Senate appreciates the crucial service that the firefighters, past and present, in the Whitefield Fire Department have provided their neighbors in Anderson County, and the members wish the department a continued history of success and safety in the years ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate congratulate the Whitefield Fire Department upon the occasion of the department's fiftieth anniversary of dedicated heroic service in Anderson County and honor Fire Chief Billy Guin and the firefighters who serve their community so selflessly.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Fire Chief Billy Guin.
