@CarolinaScanner I think that was us, we have a structure fire over in Nesmith resulting from a woods fire, I heard our dispatch say Georgetown requested water, and he told them we were tied up. Sounds like we are trying to free up some resources to send them now.

@CarolinaScanner We are working a wreck in Pasley Swamp, it’s about halfway between Kingstree and Hemingway on Hemingway Hwy (SC HWY 261). According to dispatch notes it is an overturned dump truck. Can’t hear radio right now, but I’m assuming that’s what you’re hearing.

@CarolinaScanner Hey @CarolinaScanner sorry I missed your post earlier. We had a wreck with entrapment in #WilliamsburgSC in the Stuckey area on Hemingway Hwy (SC 261) around 10am. One patient was transported by air to a regional hospital after being extricated. All clear now.
