Colleton County Fire Rescue

12/14/2025

Colleton County should expect temperatures well below normal from Sunday night through Tuesday. Luckily, there is no predicted precipitation. The Emergency Operations Center is closely monitoring the "Arctic Blast" that will bring extremely cold ambient air temperatures to our area. We are encouraging all residents to remember the four Ps: People, Pets, Plants, and Pipes. In addition, we want to remind citizens to give space heaters - space. Ensure space heaters have enough space for adequate airflow and are kept away from anything that will catch on fire. There should be at least three feet of space all the way around the heating device. Do not use outdoor grills or an oven to heat your home. A warming shelter will be open at St. Judes Church, 907 Wichman Street Walterboro, SC 29488. Transportation is not provided and pets are not permitted. We will continue to monitor the situation and will provide additional updates as needed. Additional information will be posted at www.colletonfire.com/info

It’s all about the 4 Ps! Today was really nice. Tomorrow night, not so much. Bundle up, Colleton!

Decking the halls?
Don’t forget safety with all that sparkle and cheer!
Sure, poinsettias bring festive vibes, but their leaves and sap can be mildly toxic to kids and pets if they decide to sneak a taste. Keep those plants up high and out of reach.

ALERT: Bitterly cold temperatures will impact the SC Lowcountry and Southeast Georgia Sunday night into Tuesday morning. Wind chills could drop into the single digits to mid teens above zero Monday morning. Now is the time to prepare!

This weekend will be quite enjoyable ahead of the arctic blast that will bring frigid temperatures. We should expect to see rapidly falling temperatures Sunday evening into Monday. Inland Colleton County should expect 20 degrees F Monday morning and 25 degrees F, for our coastal residents.

Remember the 4 P’s:

We cannot stress this enough. Recently, Fire-Rescue has responded to 3 structure fires that were potential caused by space heaters. Please, take a minute and give space heaters, SPACE!

Space heaters are like VIPs: They need their own space. 3 feet clear all around — no exceptions.
