It was an honor to be allowed to take photographs today for a milestone for the South Carolina Fire Service. Don Wilkins, who has a beyond impressive span of teaching for South Carolina State Fire of 45 years was awarded the Order of the Palmetto. During that career, he has over 28,000 hours of logged teaching time (that we know of) comprised of over 1,800 classes and over 25,000 students. To say this is a lifetime achievement is an understatement, it would take a lesser man two lifetimes to come close. Don is a long time member (still active) of the Town of Moncks Corner Fire Department.

Don, Uncle Don, Father Fire, Mufasa, thank you for allowing us to share your special and well deserved day. Thank you for all the years of sharing your knowledge, for your mentorship, and for being a friend. Enjoy this day brother, you earned it!

With a heavy heart, we share the passing of an absolute legend in the Fire Service. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Captain Bill Gustin was an endless well of knowledge, and he shared that knowledge so freely with anyone who was willing to listen. To the family, coworkers, and the many many people who Bill has had the chance to teach, mentor, and help turn into amazing Firefighters, we are thinking of you all.
