Glassy Mountain Fire Department Celebrates New Fire Engine with Traditional “Push In” Ceremony
- By Press Releas
LANDRUM, SC – Glassy Mountain Fire Department (GMFD) officially places into community service its new 2016 Pierce Saber fire engine during an invocation and traditional ceremony historically known as a “push in” by department staff.
The origin of pushing a fire truck into the station dates back to the time of horse drawn equipment. Firefighters had to push the fire pumpers into the fire station because horses were incapable of backing in the equipment. The new GMFD engine includes a 1250 GMP pump and a 1,000-gallon water tank with a compressed air foam system that will provide superior firefighting power over water alone.
Chief Bob Staples, Glassy Mountain Fire Department, said, “We are very grateful to our community for their support. Our new engine will allow us to better serve our communities for many years to come. We believe it will greatly enhance our ability to combat fires and reduce property damage.”

New Officer Joins Travelers Rest Police Department
- By Press Release
We would also like to express public gratitude to several local retailers for their efforts in reducing underage drinking and tobacco use in Travelers Rest. As a member agency of the Greenville County Alcohol Enforcement Team, the TRPD sent an undercover operative into several retail establishments on December 17, 2015 to attempt to purchase alcoholic beverages. To sell to this person would have been a violation of law as this person is underage. We are happy to report that twelve businesses out of thirteen checked the operative’s ID and refused to complete the sale. These businesses are Molinas, Walmart, CVS, Sidewall Pizza, Swamp Rabbit Brewery, Copperhead Mountain Distillery, Shortfields, Blue Ridge Bar and Grill, Willis ABC, Spinx, Bi-Lo, and Pizza House.
