PHOTOS: Florence County EMS announced Monday the opening of the Medic 8 station in lower Florence County. Officials said it’s located on South Deerfield Road in the Johnsonville area and will help support the services in the Johnsonville, Pamplico, and Lake City communities. The new facility will allow for operations to be from the old fire station on Broadway Street. Officials said former Florence County Council member Roger Poston dedicated a lot of time and effort to this project, as well as the current members of the Florence County Council and the Florence County Administration. Poston served on the council for many years, helping the lower end of the county to grow and making sure community members’ needs were addressed. A dedication ceremony for the fire station will happen later this month.
