On the fourth day of Prepmas, my true love gave to me...
Four fuzzy blankets
Three cans of Spam
Two NOAA Weather Radios
And a flashlight with fresh AAAs!

Shopping with Santa's Heroes 2025 is complete! This amazing event would not have been possible without Walterboro Police Department, Walterboro Fire Department, Colleton County Sheriff's Office, South Carolina Highway Patrol, South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, South Carolina Law Enforcement Division - SLED, DSS, CARE Flight, Med-Trans Corporation and Colleton Fire-Rescue who always join forces to bring Christmas joy to some of Colleton's children who really need it!

Thank you to all the private and corporate donors, who allowed us to really spoil the children. Thank you, Burger King (Walterboro), for the delicious breakfast!

As Christmas trees dry out, they become more flammable. Between 2020-2024, U.S. fire departments responded to an average of 143 tree-related fires each year! Keep your tree healthy and thriving by watering it regularly.

Let’s keep the season bright and safe! 🎄✨ For more tips, visit nfpa.org/holiday.

Pets love batting ornaments 🎄🐾. Keep candles & cords out of reach to avoid holiday vet — or fire — bills.

Colleton County should expect temperatures well below normal from Sunday night through Tuesday. Luckily, there is no predicted precipitation. The Emergency Operations Center is closely monitoring the "Arctic Blast" that will bring extremely cold ambient air temperatures to our area. We are encouraging all residents to remember the four Ps: People, Pets, Plants, and Pipes. In addition, we want to remind citizens to give space heaters - space. Ensure space heaters have enough space for adequate airflow and are kept away from anything that will catch on fire. There should be at least three feet of space all the way around the heating device. Do not use outdoor grills or an oven to heat your home. A warming shelter will be open at St. Judes Church, 907 Wichman Street Walterboro, SC 29488. Transportation is not provided and pets are not permitted. We will continue to monitor the situation and will provide additional updates as needed. Additional information will be posted at www.colletonfire.com/info
