Dispatch[]

Horry County Fire Rescue has an integrated dispatch with Surfside Beach Fire Department, Murrells Inlet-Garden City Fire District, Conway Fire Department, Loris Fire Department, and more.

Each of the four battalions operates on its own Dispatch Channel, those being TAC-1, TAC-2, TAC-3, and TAC-4 respectively. The county also uses an alphanumeric paging system for dispatching units. Dispatch operates out of the Horry County Operations Center. Fireground operations for the department are on TAC channels 5-9, with TAC-10 reserved for "Air Ops" communications with medical helicopters and other mutual aid aircraft, and TAC-11 is reserved for special operations. The department also operations other misc. channels, including Special Events, Training, and direct communication from EMS to each hospital in the county.
