It is with deep regret we announce the passing of our beloved former Fire Chief, Tommy Norris. Chief Norris served our department from 2012 to 2015. In this time, his leadership helped mold our department. Massive tactical changes, like more modern fire apparatus that are able to function flawlessly on the fire ground, updated policies and procedures, to laying the ground work for Fire Station 7, which will finally be a reality and open this summer. He was also responsible for lowering our ISO Rating from a Class 6 to a Class 4, saving our customers thousands of dollars yearly on fire insurance costs.Chief Norris will be deeply missed not only by his loving family and friends, but the entire South Carolina Fire Service. God Speed Brother. You will never be forgotten.
We are all one in this service and when one is lost we all hurt. We are saddened to hear of the news of the passing of Chief Tommy Norris from Poplar Springs. This guy was a fireman’s Chief and just a all around great leader.
Not even a year ago this man was riding shot gun on his engine on a state Mobilzation activation at our department and now we are having to say good bye. Thank you Chief Norris for your love and dedication to the SC Fire Service. You will be missed by so many.
We are still working on getting more details about the death, as family statement on the death is yet to be released.
