NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - The North Myrtle Beach fire chief will soon hang up his helmet and says he is retiring with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Fire Chief Billy Floyd will retire from the North Myrtle Beach Fire Department on May 16.

Floyd has spent three decades in the fire service, both as a volunteer and in a professional capacity.

Floyd first joined the North Myrtle Beach Fire Department in May 2005 as a firefighter and public safety officer.

He was later promoted to training captain before leaving the department in 2008.

“I returned back to the city in January of 2013, and I’ve been here ever since,” Floyd said. “So, I came back as the chief of training, stayed in that role until May of 2021, when I moved up to deputy chief. Then had the opportunity in April of 2023 to move up to fire chief.”

Before his departure, Floyd offered guidance for the next fire chief.

“The number one priority is your people; take care of your people,” Floyd said. “These fire trucks are nice, these fire trucks cost a lot of money, and they look good. We’re building a fire station right now that will be open next year. New stations are nice, new equipment is cool, all that stuff is great. If you don’t take care of your people, this truck is going to sit here; it’s not going to go anywhere, so you want to make sure you take care of your people.”

Floyd also credited former Fire Chief Garry Spain for helping prepare him for the role.

“It was a huge benefit for me being able to work under him, especially when I got to move up to deputy chief,” Floyd said. “He did a lot of things to help prep me to get ready for the position of fire chief, so again, thankful for a lot for what he did with that.”

North Myrtle Beach Mayor J. Baldwin said the city is grateful for Floyd’s service.

“He’s been a great asset to our city, great chief, with a huge responsibility,” Baldwin said. “He’s done a great job at it, and we were just very fortunate to have him.”

Floyd added that he will continue working in the fire service by selling fire equipment for a company in Marion County.

Deputy Fire Chief John Galganski will succeed him as interim fire chief.

NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WPDE) — North Myrtle Beach is preparing for an influx of visitors for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade and Festival, with city leaders expecting even more people than last year, and a major boost to the local economy.

The 36th annual Saint Patrick's Day Parade and Festival is scheduled for tomorrow and is considered one of the biggest events on the Grand Strand.

Tens of thousands of people are expected to spend the day along Main Street, shopping with local businesses and vendors and listening to local bands performing on various stages.

Events Manager Angel Sylvester said last year’s festival drew 41,000 attendees, with more than half coming from outside the county.

“So last year, we had 41,000 attend the festival. 52% of that came from outside of Horry County. So that's 52% of people coming in, staying at our hotels, eating at our restaurants, shopping at our shops. So it plays a significant role in our local economy,” Sylvester said.

Destination North Myrtle Beach President Cheryl Kilday said each visitor brings an economic impact of about $125 each — totaling more than $5 million last year — and even more visitors are expected this year.

Local businesses also see the event as a major day for sales. John Corbett, owner of Flynn’s Irish Pub, said the parade and festival drive his busiest day of the year.

“This is our biggest day of the year. Revenue-wise, you know, we can't pour fast enough when it comes to pouring beer and drinks and serving food. Because it is a such a large crowd, everybody's looking at the eat, drink. Yeah. So huge for us,” Corbett said.

The parade starts at 9 a.m. The festival begins immediately afterward and runs until 4 p.m. Corbett encouraged people to be patient and arrive early for parking, as large crowds are expected.

North Myrtle Beach is set for arguably its most popular event of the year — the 36th annual St. Patrick's Day parade and festival.

A full slate of activities is planned from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free.

The parade, which will have over 100 entries, will begin at 9 a.m. It will start on Ocean Boulevard and end at Olde Kings Highway.

The parade will begin on 2nd Ave. North. From there, it will proceed to 1st Ave. South. Then it will turn right at 1st Ave. South and make a right turn onto Hillside Drive, then left onto Main Street, where it will travel to conclude at Olde Kings Highway.

Sign up at the information booth or the Irish Stage before 1 p.m. for the Leprechaun/Junior Leprechaun contest and the Shepherd's Pie Eating Contest.

A street festival with over 120 vendors will take place on Main Street right after the parade. Food vendors and Main Street businesses will have a wide variety of food — including some traditional Irish treats.
