Through our website, www.iaff793.org, under the “SUPPORT US” tab any firefighter or citizen can submit commendations of a firefighter going above and beyond to serve the citizens of Columbia and Richland County.
Today we highlight IAFF Local 793 member, FEO JC Crum. Crum was a full-time firefighter for Forest City Fire Rescue in North Carolina before he came to the Columbia Fire Department in 2015. Crum was first assigned to Engine 2 (Olympia). After a year Crum was asked to come to Engine 9 (Devine St.) where he remains stationed today. Crum helps teach as an adjunct instructor for Columbia’s own recruit academy and also assists with teaching engine company operations classes throughout the state. Crum’s most memorable moment as a firefighter is when he and FF Ryan Sondervan rescued a woman and pulled her out of a fire on Kennedy St. Crum is a certified SCUBA diver. Outside of fighting fires, Crum, his wife, and their 3 kids live on a farm and enjoy agriculture, westerns, and aviation.
In a commendation received for Crum they stated, “Engineer Crum has always been extremely helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to this job. The only thing that surpasses his skill and knowledge is his passion for being a firefighter. Engineer Crum takes it upon himself to go to external trainings and not only soak up all that he can, he comes back and shares it with his peers. He does this because he cares about those around him but also because he wants to better our department and our profession. Engineer Crum always has a smile on his face when you see him and is always open to any questions one may have about the job or something they are trying to accomplish. Crum is a selfless leader who never looks to take credit for anything, but instead insists that the team get the win. Engineer Crum represents the best in our department every day.”
Please help us commend FEO JC Crum for his part in making Columbia a better safer place!
