Colleton County Fire-Rescue has been monitoring the Hurricane Irma storm
track and intensity for several days. We have begun to implement
preparatory operations such as sharpening chain saws, insuring station
generators and apparatus are fully fueled, as well as developing plans for
damage assessments and increases in staffing if necessary. We are also
participating in local and state Emergency Management planning calls to
insure that sufficient resources are pre-positioned to best serve our
citizens. Given the State of Emergency declared by Governor McMaster earlier today, we urge all Colleton County citizens to closely monitor local news outlets and weather updates.
