Safety remains our top priority, and we appreciate the community’s understanding and cooperation during this time. We will continue to provide updates until the scene is clear.

Clarendon County Fire Rescue would like to thank Anders Taylor with Thermal deer recovery for your assistance last night locating a missing hunter.
This operation was a team effort involving Clarendon County Sheriff’s Office and South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The use of this thermal drone was instrumental in achieving a successful outcome.
The nighttime temperature as well as the physical condition of the patient was a concern for all responders involved. Their dedication, quick response, and interagency cooperation made all the difference, and we are grateful for their support in these situations.
Thank you all for your outstanding teamwork!
