Table Rock Complex fire confirmed largest SC firefighter mobilization effort
PICKENS COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) – State Fire Marshal Jonathan Jones confirmed the Table Rock Complex Fire led to the largest South Carolina Firefighter Mobilization since the program's inception in 2000.
It's a remarkable display of unity and service. Officials said about 1,000 firefighters from across the state were mobilized, along with close to 400 vehicles—including engines, brush trucks, UTVs, and additional federal support.
Together, they tackled what has now become the largest wildfire in Upstate history.
The South Carolina Firefighter Mobilization program allows the state to quickly deploy fire resources from various jurisdictions to respond to large-scale emergencies, such as wildfires, natural disasters, or other significant incidents, according to South Carolina State Fire.
Officials said it was impressive to watch so many resources come together to help others.
'To see that many resources come across to help others, it's been a pretty impressive thing to watch,' said Chad Beam, who's part of the Emergency Response Task Force with South Carolina State Fire.
A thousand firefighters were mobilized from across the state, along with nearly 400 vehicles, including engines, brush trucks, UTVs, and additional federal support.
