From the meeting
At the August 28, 2026 MAC meeting, the group discussed expanding emergency vehicle preemption across jurisdictions and said they were trying to get ahead of grant opportunities in 2027. North Charleston Fire had already shown interest, and Mr. James said he would start working on a joint grant application if other organizations wanted to join.
Chief Mike Nixon said Goose Creek Fire had a 10-year contract and SCDOT did not allow law enforcement to use the devices. The item remained in planning and grant development.
