Bill > H4429

This resolution requests the South Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) to erect a marker or sign along United States Highway 276 in Greenville County to commemorate the heroic efforts of firefighters during the Persimmon Ridge wildfire on March 26, 2025. The resolution details how over fifty firefighters from twenty-two different fire departments and units worked together to contain a rapidly spreading wildfire that threatened to climb a mountain and potentially destroy homes in the Cedar Mountain and Cliff Ridge communities. The marker, to be placed at specific geographical coordinates (35º5'30" N by 82º36'53" W), will bear the words "Alamo Cove" - a name given by the South Carolina Forestry Commission Supervisor Brad Bramlett to honor the location where firefighters successfully stopped the fire's progression. The resolution also calls for copies of the resolution to be sent to the DOT and presented to the River Falls Fire Department, recognizing the collective effort and bravery of the firefighting units involved in extinguishing the wildfire.
