To the dear family of Mike Benke,
Though I didnt know Capt Benke personally, I did get to meet him one afternoon. I had been to 3 other fire stations looking for a fireman to help me install my daughters carseat for the first time to make sure it was done correctly and safely. Finally I got to his station and told my story and what I needed one more time. Capt Benke jumped up and said "I can do that... come on." He then spent the next 2 hours struggling with my carseat to make sure it...

Kim, Hunter and Family,
I was horrified to hear about this tragedy. It was heart-wrenching when it occurred in West Ashley and heart-breaking when the names were announced. West Ashley has grown some through the years but we always seem to find a way every now and again to bump into each other. We were fortunate to grow up in a time and place that we could get along so well.
Mike Benke was a hero and will be missed. He labored in a profession that most would have no problem...
