And through automatic aide agreements, Engine 109 also responds frequently into the City of North Charleston for all types of calls.
Haz Mat 101 responds to all Hazardous Materials calls in the City of Charleston, and through automatic aide agreements, also responds to all of the areas of Charleston County.
