In recognition of Fire Prevention Month (October), the Columbia Fire Brigade visited with elementary students to educate them on fire safety. The students had an opportunity to meet the firefighters and to get familiar with what they looked like in full gear. The brigade then led a fire safety demonstration comprised of a presentation, Q&A with the children and hands-on exercises. The students learned the importance of having a fire escape plan at home, reminding their parents to change the batteries in the smoke alarms and what to do if they are ever caught in a fire.

In September, several employees joined other members of the Columbia Wildlife and Industry Together (W.A.I.T.) team for community beautification projects. A clean-up of the Congaree River resulted in the recovery of 34 tires and 11 bags of trash. 10 days later, an Adopt A Highway clean-up event saw the collection of 49 bags of trash and other discarded objects. Their continued hard work and dedication has awarded our Columbia W.A.I.T. team with the Richland County 2018 Adopt-A-Highway Group of the Year, as part of the Keep the Midlands Beautiful campaign! Congrats to the team on their well-deserved recognition!
