The bill, S. 620, is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to request the Department of Transportation to name a specific stretch of Highway 276 in Greenville County as "Alamo Cove." This designation is in honor of the firefighters who bravely fought the Persimmon Ridge fire on March 26, 2025, which posed a significant threat to the surrounding communities due to challenging terrain and adverse weather conditions. The resolution calls for the erection of appropriate markers or signs at the designated location to commemorate the efforts of the firefighting units involved in containing the blaze.
The resolution highlights the coordinated response of various firefighting units and the critical role they played in preventing catastrophic damage to homes and properties in the area. It emphasizes the bravery and dedication of the firefighters, culminating in the decision by Commission Supervisor Brad Bramlett to name the location "Alamo Cove" as a tribute to their efforts. The resolution concludes with a directive to forward a copy to the Department of Transportation and present it to the River Falls Fire Department.
