Our brother, Firefighter Michael Consigliere, needs our help. This dedicated City of Goose Creek firefighter and Army veteran was critically injured in a tragic accident. He's battling severe chronic pain, faces more surgeries, and has mounting medical debt.
Michael has given so much to our community. Now it's our turn to support him and his family.
We are heartbroken to announce the unexpected passing of Engineer Greg Tucker, a devoted member of the Franklin Fire Department. Greg died in an off-duty motor vehicle accident on Wednesday, June 18, at the age of 49.
