Florence County Emergency Medical Services has a unit stationed at Francis Marion University.  This is a 24-hour full time Advanced Life Support unit. It responds to calls for medical services from on campus, from the industrialized areas near campus such as Dupont and Hoffman LaRouche Pharmaceuticals, and from the suburban areas here in the eastern portion of Florence County.  Windy Hill Fire Department, Florence Rescue Squad, Howe Springs Fire and Rescue, and Francis Marion Campus Police all work with EMS as medical first responder agencies in their respective service areas.
