RESOLUTION
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR NEW HOLLAND FIRE CHIEF DENNIS
JACKSON UPON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT AS CHIEF AFTER NEARLY FOUR DECADES
OF DISTINGUISHED CIVIL SERVICE IN THE FIREFIGHTING COMMUNITY.
W
hereas, the South
Carolina House of Representatives has learned that New Holland Fire Chief
Dennis Jackson will retire from his post as chief on January 17, 2026. It is
with deep gratitude and admiration that we honor him for his remarkable
thirty-seven years of civil service in the firefighting community. Dennis has
been a steadfast protector, a visionary leader, and a true friend to all who
have had the privilege of serving alongside him; and
W
hereas, from the very
beginning, Dennis has exemplified what it means to serve. His commitment to
safeguarding lives and property has never wavered. Known for his friendly
nature and unwavering dedication, Dennis has always been willing to assist
anyone in need. On a call, his intensity and focus ensure the highest level of
service; off the call, his warmth and care make everyone feel like family; and
W
hereas, in 2005,
Dennis stepped into the role of chief of the New Holland Volunteer Fire
Department, leading with passion and purpose. At that time, the department had
just two pieces of fire equipment and one firehouse. Today, thanks to Dennis's
vision and leadership, the department proudly operates fifteen pieces of
rolling equipment and three firehouses, with a fourth currently under
construction. This incredible growth is a testament to his tireless efforts and
commitment to the community; and
W
hereas, Dennis's
dedication extends beyond the firehouse. He has always believed that the fire
department is a family, welcoming everyone from the youngest to the oldest into
business meetings and community events. His protective nature toward firefighters
and their families has created a culture of trust, respect, and unity that will
endure for generations; and
W
hereas, as Dennis
transitions from his role as chief to service on the board, the House celebrates
not only his professional achievements but also the heart and soul he has
poured into the New Holland Volunteer Fire Department. Dennis is a devoted
family man whose love and care have extended to his volunteer fire family,
shaping the very foundation of who its members are today. Now, therefore,
B
e it resolved by the
House of Representatives
:
T
hat the members of the
South Carolina
House of Representatives
,
by this resolution, recognize and honor New Holland Fire Chief Dennis Jackson
upon the occasion of his retirement as chief after nearly four decades of
distinguished civil service in the firefighting community.
B
e it further resolved
that a copy of this resolution be presented to New Holland Fire Chief Dennis
Jackson.
