2025 Salute to our
Circle Fire Department Heroes
Saluda, SC
March 22, 2025
On September 27, 2024, Hurricane Helene struck our State with widespread wind damage, localized flooding and long-term electrical outages. During the early morning hours on the 27th, Chief Chad Satcher and Firefighter Landon Bodie were dispatched by 911 to provide aid to a citizen of Saluda County. While on their way to provide needed help, the cab of their Fire Truck was struck by a large falling tree. Neither man survived the impact.
These brave men leave behind a legacy of community service and love for their families and their community. Their inspiring sacrifice has led a small group of community minded First Responders and community leaders to partner together for a benefit concert and oyster roast to benefit Saluda County’s Circle Volunteer Fire Department in honor of these brave heroes. Proceeds from this event will help fund critical emergency response and safety equipment to keep our Fire Fighters and our community safe.
This event features a VIP oyster roast (VIP Tickets include Beer & Wine).
Hamburgers and hot dogs, beer, wine, soda and water will be available for purchase with a General Admission Ticket. There will also be dessert food trucks and bounce houses for the kids. We will be raffling off some great items, including a set of Michelin or BF Goodrich Tires. Live music will be provided by McKenzie Butler, Brooks Herring, Rut Spence.
Vice President of Operations David Kerr sits down with WIS News 10 in Columbia to discuss the upcoming Oyster Roast.
