Pete Frommer praises volunteer firefighters in Aiken County noting the dangers and lack of formal recognition. Fire departments must meet state and federal guidelines and volunteers re certify yearly at the state Fire Academy in Columbia. Funding relies on fundraisers and occasional county dues based on active subscribers. Graniteville volunteer Allen Kneece says about 140 calls yearly, mostly brush and car fires, with mutual aid agreements ensuring support between departments.
