Berkeley County Rescue Squad Saves Father & Son From Sinking Boat

BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C.--What was supposed to fun day of fishing on Lake Moultrie turned into anything but for a father and his young son. Shortly before 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, the Berkeley County Rescue Squad was dispatched to the area of Blacks Camp in Cross for a report of a sinking boat. While out on the lake with his young son, the father's small bass boat began taking on water. That's when he called 9-1-1 for help from his cell phone. The rescue squad quickly responded and were assisted by DNR and Cross Rural Fire Department. Thirty minutes into the search, the Berkeley County Rescue Squad located the sinking boat. By this time, the inside of the father and son's boat was about two to three feet deep in water. Squad members picked up the father and son and safely carried them to Blacks Camp. EMS was on hand to make sure the father and son were okay.

We want to say a big THANK YOU to all those who came out and participated in the catfish tournament on April 30th. The weather was perfect! In the 23 years that we've been doing this, this one topped them all. We raised over $16,000--the most ever. The community participation was awesome. We had a huge turnout. Even if you didn't take part in the tournament, it was still fun to watch the weigh ins as well as take part in the raffle prizes.

As always, the food was amazing. We also celebrated a huge milestone. It's hard to believe, but we've been in operation for 50 years now and still going strong. We hope to be around serving the community for many more years to come! In attendance at last night's dinner were also two very special guests: Cpl. Kimber Gist and Captain Will Rogers with the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office. Both were shot in the line of duty nine months apart from one another. Kimber & Will share a hug.
