The City of North Charleston Fire
Department Training Division was started in the beginning of 1972
with Chief William Long at the helm. The office was located at the
old Reynolds Avenue fire station on the 2nd floor. It was his
responsibility to provide initial training for new hires and
coordinate training for current employees. The training office moved
to it's current location, at Cross County Road Station #4 in 1985.
The first major prop, the "Fire Tower", was built by several members
of the fire department.

In 1986, Chief Marvin McDaniel became
Chief of Training. During Chief McDaniel's tenure, members of the
fire department became certified as Interior Structural Firefighters
through the South Carolina Fire Academy. New training prop's were
created and new training materials were purchased to assist in
bringing the fire department to the forefront in training.
