Milestone Anniversary Celebration at Homeland Park Fire Department

On Thursday, August 8, at 10:30 a.m., the Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce will host a Milestone Anniversary celebration for The Homeland Fire Department to celebrate their 50th anniversary. The event will be followed by a community open house that will take place on Saturday, August 10, from 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. with BBQ plates available for $7.00. They would enjoy the opportunity to meet you and address any needs or ideas in the community. If you have any pictures or memorabilia from the past of HPFD, they would love to see it.

The Homeland Park Fire Department was established in 1963 by the Anderson County Fire Protection Commission. In 1963, the Fire Commission set out looking for people of the Homeland Park Community who wanted to make a difference, and who were fearless enough to fight fire. The community answered the noble call. For the present and future members, it will not be an easy task to maintain the honor, pride, and dignity in which this station was founded. Since day one of this station's operations, the members have poured their blood, sweat, and tears into making this station what it is today. Their work has not been forgotten. Anywhere you go people notice an increased sense of pride in a Homeland Park Firefighter. So, if you have the time and willingness to be a part of one of the best fire departments in the upstate of South Carolina, come on down and walk in the boots of a Homeland Park ''Heat Seeker''.
