The Pendleton Station is a part of the Anderson County Fire Department
Station 2 answered 127 calls in 2008
The county system has worked well for over 40 years but no one is exactly sure why it works so well. Pendleton Fire Chief Bobby Pruitt says that it must be the people that make it work because other areas have tried to do things the way we do but don't have the same success.
Pendleton Fire Chief Bobby Pruitt stated that the County Fire Commission provides the Pendleton Fire Department with 2 Class A Pumpers and a Station Allowance. Everything else - the tankers, service truck, and grass truck - has been purchased with donations

- I have to laugh Nancy. We recently had some floods. The government is trying to cut public servants pay, nurses, police etc. I went into town and all I could see was public servants in appalling conditions risking their lives to help. The red cross sent out a truck to pick up my wife (a nurse) for night duty as the roads were almost impassable to normal traffic. But nary a sight of a politician did I see. God bless people like this and Pendleton firefighters. Blessed by an Angel.

- Nancy this is wonderful! And you are putting Pendleton on the map. I have always loved the Pendleton Volunteer Fire Department. Since I lived down the street from it I always new when they were going out. But in the 60's with my brother, Billy Crenshaw, cousin David Crenshaw and their friend Bobby Jones, who all were just in high school, it made you wonder if they would tear up the equipment or wreck the equipment but these guys have done all of us proud over the years. I am so proud of who they have become and who the Fire Department have become. And very proud of Ben Crenshaw who has followed in his Grandfather's and Father's steps. Thank you for putting this lense together.

- Congratulations of your 50th Lens and it's wonderful that you chose to make it a tribute to the Pendleton Volunteer Fire Dept. Just as Pendleton is fortunate to have you to tell the rest of the world about our town, we are very fortunate to have probably the model VFD for the whole country. I know personally the experienced and dedicated leadership there and most of the members and my family, and business, has long been the recipient of their wonderful service and protection. Hats off to you for recognizing this great group of volunteers who dedicate their time to the protection of their community and it's people.

You are a true Ambassador-to-the-World (or at least for South Carolina) for Pendleton, SC. Your pride in your community, it's places and people, shines through your terrific lenses.
