OUR PAT

Our Pat is a retired Fire Steamer that served as the Darlington Fire Department’s only pump truck for many years. 

Our Pat was bought from the City of Charleston and began service in the 1880’s.

She was retired from service in the 1930’s and sat behind the old fire department for many years rusting and falling apart. 

In the 1980’s Darlington Fire Chief Jim Stone and his staff began a restoration of Our Pat. 

In 1993 “Our Pat” was returned to her old home at Darlington’s original fire department.
