Not a problem.

I'm in Lexington County, which is right across the Congaree River from Columbia. All Lexington County fire stations have volunteers. The municipal departments in West Columbia and Cayce do not.

If you are moving to Richland County, where the city of Columbia is located, the fire stations in the county there have volunteers.

The remaining counties in the area (Kershaw, Sumter, Fairfield, Calhoun) are mostly volunteer.
