Hosts are responsible for providing a meeting room, television, and DVD player. Participants must be 18 or older. Please contact us at least 10 business days before your desired date.

Fire Truck

When requesting a visit from GCFD personnel and equipment, please keep in mind that our fire trucks are active emergency vehicles, and if they receive a request for service, they will have to leave your event. If that occurs, whether or not they are able to return to your event will depend on the severity of the emergency. If firefighters do not receive a request for service, the amount of time that they can remain at the event will be at the supervisor’s discretion. Please contact us at least 10 business days before your desired date. 

REQUEST A Flag Display

Displaying the American flag is something we are honored to do, and something we take very seriously. In most cases, we will provide the American flag to be displayed. Please note that GCFD only accepts requests to display the American or South Carolina flags. Please contact us at least 10 business days before your desired date.

Hands-Only CPR

According to the American Heart Association, 90% of people who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrests die because they don’t receive immediate CPR from someone on the scene. With proper training, you can make a difference. Please contact us at least 10 business days before your desired date.

Please contact us at least 10 business days before your desired date.
