Chief Martin frequently spent more than several hours away from home fighting fires, and in the past, he would leave his day job to help in fighting fires; and
Whereas, Chief Martin earned several certifications from the South Carolina Fire Academy. Immediately after joining the department, he took the 1121, 1131, and Structural I Fire Fighting classes. In 2006, he completed the new Fire Fighting I and Fire Fighting II classes, as well as several Incident Command classes; and
Whereas, the South Carolina House or Representatives is grateful for five decades of excellent service that Chief Martin has given to his community and the West Chester Fire Department. Now, therefore,
