Dozens of firefighters came together Wednesday afternoon to support one of their own, Firefighter III Donnie Feagin, who was diagnosed in 2020 with metastatic brain cancer.
Feagin retired on Feb. 28, 2022, to concentrate on his health, and his absence has been felt throughout Clarendon County Fire Rescue.
Since joining what was then the Clarendon County Fire Department in 2003 as a volunteer, Feagin moved up the ranks of the department. He began as a full-time firefighter with the department in 2007 and retired as a Firefighter III.
"Donnie has always been dedicated to our department," said CCFR Chief Michael Johnson. "Very seldom would a call go out from his station and Donnie didn't respond. Donnie is always willing to train new members, and he's one excellent apparatus operator."
