Berkeley County Rescue Squad Raffling Off New Remington Shotgun

Image
BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.--How would you like a chance to win a brand new shotgun for just one dollar? Well, now here's your chance. The  Berkeley County Rescue Squad  has announced its first ever raffle drawing fundraiser for a brand new Remington shotgun courtesy of  Carolina Arms & Ammo  in Moncks Corner. The shotgun is valued at over $300. Since 1966, the Berkeley County Rescue Squad has been responding to emergencies throughout the state. Made up of all volunteers who answer calls 24/7, squad members handle land searches, water searches and vehicle extrication. Their services are provided to the country free of charge.

Berkeley Co. Rescue Squad considers using drones to assist with searches

Image
MONCKS CORNER, S.C.—The Berkeley Co. Rescue Squad is looking into the possibility of using to drones to assist with future searches.   Representatives with SkyView Aerial Solutions, a company out of Mount Pleasant that specializes in unmanned aerial solutions, met with rescue squad members on Thursday. On the outside, drones look like toy planes but do way more than just fly around.   Becoming increasingly popular with law enforcement, the military and other rescue agencies, drones come equipped with a video camera which makes it possible to conduct aerial searches without the need of a pilot. Several agencies in South Carolina already use drones to assist them on the job.   The Richland Co. Sheriff’s Office and Columbia Police Department first started using them in 2011 to help them with locating missing people and monitoring dangerous situations from a distance. According to representatives with SkyView Aerial Solutions, they’ve experienced a huge in
