SCFR was proud to be able to assist!!Today personnel with Emergency Management and Fire Rescue were able to deliver needed food and supplies to many residents that are trapped behind flood water. Deliveries were made on Patrica Circle, River Rd, and Lower Standing Rock Rd. The Cumberland is forecast to crest overnight and then begin to fall, however many areas will remain flooded until at least mid-week. Unfortunately, it also looks like more rain toward the end of the week. While it’s too early to talk specifics, the NWS has our area highlighted for heavy precipitation March 9 - 11. If we missed anyone today that is behind flood water and needs supplies, please call the SC Emergency Management Agency at 931-233-5322 option 1 and speak with a dispatcher. ... See MoreSee Less

Excellent work from all involved!Last Thursday, Mr. Bobby Hayes of Lexington, TN, had no idea that his hunting trip in the LBL would end with him being lost in the woods on a rainy and cold night. For over two hours Mr. Hayes attempted to find his way in the dark, cold, and rain before he was able to find an area that had cell service to call for help. He called 911 and Dispatchers Ashley Robinson and Tamara Hawkins answered his call. Using RapidSOS technology, our dispatchers were able to determine the exact location from GPS information on his cellular device. They quickly determined that he was on the North South trail in the Land Between the Lakes. Units from Stewart County Fire Rescue, SC EMS, and the US Forest Service were dispatched to Mr. Hayes’ location. Tamara and Ashley disconnected the call in order to save battery on Mr. Hayes’ cell phone but instructed him to call 911 every 10 mins so they could check on him and provide updates to responders. They continued to relay location information to responding units who were able to easily locate Mr. Hayes and transport him out of the woods. Mr. Hayes would have likely succumb to hypothermia had he not been located. This evening, he wanted to meet the heroes on the other end of the phone who kept him calm and directed help to him on that dark and cold evening. Dispatchers are often forgotten, but they are the true first responders!! Thank you Ashley and Tamara for going above and beyond!! #iam911 #truefirstresponders #rapidsos ... See MoreSee Less
