Colleton County Fire-Rescue

5/15/2010

	Fire-Rescue participated in the airport’s “Wings and Wheels” event held Saturday at the Lowcountry Regional Airport on Aviation Way 15-May. The event showcased vintage and present day aircraft and automobiles. The large crowd was able to view early day biplanes as well as one of the military’s newest helicopters. A company was on hand to provide helicopter rides and over three dozen antique cars were on display to showoff vintage craftsmanship from decades gone by. A couple of parachutists conducted a jump from a helicopter for the spectators. One jumper experienced a problem with is chute, but was able to land safely and uninjured. Fire-Rescue stood by with Medic 19 and Medic 104 treating a few minor injuries that did not require medical transport to the hospital. Engine 19 and ARFF 19 were also there. The Fire-Rescue units were on display for the public to view and ARFF 19 conducted a demonstration around 1400. It was an enjoyable display where the public could learn about aviation, antique cars and emergency vehicles.
