The bill H. 4429 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to honor the firefighters who bravely fought the Persimmon Ridge fire on March 26, 2025. The resolution requests the Department of Transportation to erect appropriate markers or signs along United States Highway 276 in Greenville County at the specified coordinates, designating the area as "Alamo Cove." This name was proposed by South Carolina Forestry Commission Supervisor Brad Bramlett, who recognized the location's significance after the intense firefighting efforts that prevented catastrophic damage to nearby communities.
The resolution highlights the challenges faced by the firefighting units during the wildfire, including low humidity and gusty winds that exacerbated the situation. It acknowledges the coordinated efforts of over fifty firefighters and various fire apparatuses that worked tirelessly to contain the blaze, ultimately saving homes and properties. The resolution aims to commemorate their courage and dedication by officially naming the location where they battled the fire. Copies of the resolution will be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and presented to the River Falls Fire Department.
