About the Department

St. Andrews Fire Department (SAFD) provides fire, rescue, and first responder services to the unincorporated area of West Ashley. The operational staff is divided into a ladder company, a rescue company, three engine companies, and a quick response vehicle (QRV) operating out of four fire stations. Each company is staffed with a minimum of three members, except the QRV which is staffed with two, on a daily basis under the direction of a Battalion Chief. Through a commitment of automatic aid, we assist the fire departments of St. John’s Fire District, James Island Public Service District, Mount Pleasant, Isle of Palms, City of Charleston and North Charleston in meeting their missions on a daily basis
