We like to think we live and work in a nice, quiet community. While that’s true for the most part, we cannot take personal safety for granted.

When we’re walking to our cars alone, when we’re in businesses by ourselves, when we’re simply walking down the street without paying attention to our surroundings, we create opportunities that may unintentionally put us in harm’s way.

The Landrum Area Fire and Rescue District is devoted to “neighbors helping neighbors,” and we want to make sure that the ones we are here to protect stay safe. That is why we are partnering with the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office.

On August 8, 2016 from 6:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at the Landrum Area Fire and Rescue District headquarters, representatives from the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office will conduct a 90-minute self-defense class that is free of charge and open to the public.

With the class divided between an instructional presentation and hands-on application, this is a great opportunity for our community to gain some valuable knowledge and experience straight from the local sheriff’s office that services much of our District.

Put your safety and the safety of those you care about first.
