Georgetown County recognizes Aaron Bostic as Manager of the Year

Georgetown County has recognized Aaron Bostic, assistant chief for Georgetown County Fire-EMS, as the County’s Manager of the Year for 2025.

Bostic oversees the department’s day-to-day operations and is a dedicated public servant, not only to the community he serves, but also to the men and women who work under his command. He’s not afraid to get his hands dirty and often steps in at an incident scene to work alongside the men and women of the department. Bostic has utilized his outdoor and nautical experience to develop and implement the department’s new marine response division. This included designing an appropriate vessel, as well as training boat and rescue technicians to respond to marine-based emergencies. He also oversees and manages the department’s drone program.

Through his efforts, he was recently successful in obtaining a certification for the department that allows for blanket operations of in-house trained pilots under his pilot-in-command certification. Having this resource expedites the deployment of this critical aviation resource for things like search and rescue operations, fire detection and aerial reconnaissance on large-area or expanding incidents. Among other things, Bostic’s handling of a recent off-duty accident that critically injured one of the department’s firefighters was exemplary. Being a true leader, he designated himself as the departmental point of contact with the family. He not only assisted them in navigating the HR waters of short-term and long-term disability options, but was also a beacon of information to the department.
