The Carney Strong Initiative is a grant program to help small and rural fire departments establish an after fire decon program. This program is to honor Battalion Chief Josh Carney who passed away in 2017 from Stage 4 Melanoma.

We look forward to being a part of the annual Myrtle Beach Carney Strong training as we investigate research that reveals how sleep deprivation plays a key role in the development of cancer and other health issues faced by the fire service. More importantly, we will train you with practical, proven techniques on how to take control over your sleep (despite call volume) to improve it and the quality of your life and wellbeing on and off the job!
