The Berkeley County Fire Service Board consists of three (3) fire service personnel, selected from one of the five fire districts; three (3) citizens from different magisterial districts and one (1) Berkeley County Councilperson. Each citizen or fire service representative is appointed by the Berkeley County Council for a three year term, not to exceed two terms. Additionally, all Board appointees are sworn in by a representative of the Berkeley County Clerk.
The Berkeley County Fire Service Board of Directors meets monthly on the second Thursday at 6:30 PM to conduct regular business. These meetings are conducted in the County Council Chambers on the 2nd level within the Dunn Building at 400 West Stephen Street.
Current Fire Fees for Berkeley County residences and non-residential buildings are applied on a graduated scale based upon the square footage of each habitable structure in Berkeley County.
Those rates are as follows:

It is still your responsibility to actively tend to any controlled outside burning. You are to never leave these fires unattended.
Remember, if you initiate a controlled outside burning, you may be responsible for any damages or services rendered by the fire service
in the event the controlled burn gets "out of control". |
||
Before burning, please call the Berkeley County Central Dispatch non-emergency line at (304) 263-1330. |
