Extrication Day
On Wednesday February 15th a joint training exercise occurred; a first of its kind involving firefighters from the Columbia Fire Department, EMTs & Paramedics from Richland County EMS, and residents from Palmetto Health. The training focused on vehicle extrications and providing patient care during the extrication.
Over 40 physicians from Palmetto Health’s residency program along with several ER Physicians attended this training which included a lecture from experts in the field of vehicle extrication and then they observed several vehicle extrication scenarios to better understand what occurs during extrication. In turn Richland County’s EMS and the physicians provided valuable recommendations on best practices with patient care during an incident.
Towards the end of the training several residents volunteered to be patients inside the vehicles during the extrication this provided firsthand knowledge of what an actual patient may experience during a vehicle entrapment and also how firefighters conduct patient care.
Discussions during and after the completion of the training were completely positive and recommendations from all the attendees including the residents encouraged this training exercise to continue for future residents.
Chief Aubrey D. Jenkins said, “Collaborations like this can only improve how we as first responders provide the best possible patient care during what could be one of the most traumatic incidents an individual can experience.”

We are into our 2nd day of the 2015 MDA Boot Drive and we thought we would share a video from one of our very own, Taylor Lever McEntire (honorary CFD Firefighter). We embrace this boot drive for MDA each year for many reasons but none are more prevalent than Taylor’s memory and his passion for life. Taylor fought a life-long battle with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 that ended on February 19,...

this siren is still active for Columbia, SC for rising water in 2024.
but here’s all the signals that are used for: alert: dam failure. attack/wail: rising water for the river and the Lake Murray. whoop: tornado warning. pulse: weather warnings like severe thunderstorm warnings, tropical thunderstorm warnings, extremely heavy rain warnings, flood warnings. HI-LO: dam gate flooding.
I went to the Saluda River park and I saw those sirens near the sides of the greenways three (3) weeks ago

We are into our 2nd day of the 2015 MDA Boot Drive and we thought we would share a video from one of our very own, Taylor Lever McEntire (honorary CFD Firefighter). We embrace this boot drive for MDA each year for many reasons but none are more prevalent than Taylor’s memory and his passion for life. Taylor fought a life-long battle with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 that ended on February 19, 2007. Taylor was also the spokesperson for MDA and the Fire Fighters. He was MDA’s South Carolina Goodwill Ambassador and spoke at many events to help raise monies for the Muscular Dystrophy Assoc. He was an Easter Seal’s State Representative and helped raise money for the Buck A Cup campaign. He was a recipient of the first annual Taylor McEntire Courage Award, given out annually by the Columbia Fire Department to a graduating Recruit Firefighter. Taylor was an inspiration to all he met for his love, determination and his attitude toward life. We ask that you help us remember him by making a donation to the MDA Fill the Boot Campaign.
