The new Fire Chief of the year from the South Carolina State Association of Fire Chiefs is Easley fire chief Butch Womack.
Womack is no stranger to awards, having won widespread recognition for his work and since he was appointed chief in 1993, as well as state and national awards, he has served as president of both the S.C. State Association of Fire Chiefs and as president of the South Carolina Firefighters Association.
Over the years, Womack and his team of fellow firefighters have helped a lot of people. These days firefighters don’t just fight fires, they can cover everything from a house fire to extracting someone from a car at the scene of an accident or responding to a carbon monoxide threat.
Womack does admit to lots of scary moments, not only for him but for the team, and says he always worries who will go into a fire and who will come back out.
He says that he knew the moment he joined the Easley Fire Department in 1984 that that was where he would stay for the rest of his life, but he had no idea that his path would include becoming chief let alone win so many awards.
