NMB fire crews to serve county for 'goodwill' by Paul Nelson of The Sun NORTH MYRTLE BEACH - North Myrtle Beach Fire Chief Tom Barstow says that as a "goodwill gesture," his department resumed coverage Thursday of certain unincorporated sections of Horry County with the expectations that their fire-services contract with the county will soon be renewed. On Wednesday, it was Barstow who called off fire crews as they were nearing a blaze at 1399 Oyster Lane after a city public safety officer arrived on the scene before the trucks and notified Barstow that the fire was in a part of the county their department had stopped covering Nov. 9 after failed contract talks with the county. No injuries were reported in the Oyster Lane fire. The residential structure, the site of another fire in October, was heavily damaged. Barstow said the department handled the earlier fire, which was sparked by an electrical problem. This time it appeared to be a controlled burn that grew out of hand, officials said. The chief said North Myrtle Beach officials on Friday morning submitted a contract proposal to their counterparts in the county. He said he was optimistic a deal would be in place soon. Horry County spokeswoman Lisa Bourcier confirmed Friday that the county had received the form and said she expects the matter to be resolved sometime next week. She said the county would be "looking at re-drawing lines" and the area the contract covers. Under the old contract, North Myrtle Beach received $40,000 annually to handle fire calls from roughly 48th Avenue South to the Cherry Grove Inlet, which includes parcels behind Grand Strand Airport, U.S. 17 and from Little River Neck Road to Tilghman Point, officials said. That contract expired Aug. 31. On Sept. 15, Bourcier said, the county got a letter alerting them that the city was now charging $58,000, an increase Barstow attributed to a countywide property reassessment. By then, Bourcier said, the county already had earmarked its money for the budget year. Barstow said part of the problem with Wednesday's fire was that the caller could not give the dispatcher a specific street location, which was crucial because Oyster Lane is sandwiched between city streets. "It was a misunderstanding and lack of information from the initial caller that led to the confusion," he said. Barstow noted that if the county had needed assistance Wednesday, North Myrtle Beach firefighters would have returned to the scene because of their mutual-aid agreement. He said the mix-up is being blown out of proportion. "There's no hard feelings," he said. "It was just a contract situation that hadn't been resolved."

How did it go today?

Guys this is over money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! North Myrtle Beach FD is contracted by Horry County Fire/Rescue to cover some areas that they are alot closer to then a county station. The contract went up and NMBFD asked for more money and the contract hasnt been settleed yet. I beleive it was the week before NMBFD went to the same house when it caught fire the first time. About being professional- To listen to your commanding officer who isnt on scene yet and they tell you to turn around DO NOT GO IN TO THE SCENE and you know its a workin fire..... maybe it was a family members house of MOS maybe it was MOS house. I thought we are here to protect and serve?

Ive been on a crew that has dropped pts before......and oopps accidents happen. Apoligize to the pt. theres nothing else you can do. Have a little strecher training class when you get back to the station and get on with your day. I tend to notice that most of theses accidents happen with people that arent use to using a strecther or dont know how to use it "the new guy". Everybody makes mistakes......

for the most part we use it for PR. We had it on sale when it was first released out for a fund rasier. We are still trying to get it out to the public down here cause for the most part people just think that the "Big" blue and white truck just drivers up and down the roads and is a over sized ambulance.

Most states that are in a warmer climate use lighter color gear to try to keep the FF's alittle cooler. The lighter gear doesnt attrack the sun/heat as much as the black.
