Fountain Inn Fire Department

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Touch-A-Truck on Saturday, June 6! Our Fire Marshal, Fire Chief, and A Shift firefighters enjoyed meeting the community and showing off the fire engine and all the tools we use to serve Fountain Inn.

From climbing into the truck to exploring equipment and trying out the sirens, it was a great day of hands-on fun and learning. We’re grateful for the chance to share what we do and connect with so many families. Thank you for coming out and supporting your Fire Department!

As a fire dog, I know a thing or two about heat—and summer pavement can get hotter than you think. Before you take your furry family members for a walk, remember to check the pavement first.

If you can't comfortably place the back of your hand on the asphalt for 7 seconds, it's too hot for your dog's paws.

☀️ Walk during the cooler morning or evening hours
🌱 Choose grassy routes when possible
💧 Bring plenty of water
🐾 Keep those paws safe from burns

A little extra caution can help make sure every walk is a tail-wagging good time!

Stay cool,
Ember 🐾❤️
