Colleton County Fire-Rescue

14-February-2014 – Storm Recovery

Efforts continue countywide to clear roadways and restore power to thousands of people throughout the county. Power Company crews and tree clearing companies from around the country are diligently working to get things back to normal and are working well into the night. Local crews continue to work long hours to provide safe passage for the general public as services are stretched beyond any predicted limits. Governor Haley visited the area and toured storm damaged communities. Utility companies have power restored to many customers, but several thousands of homes/businesses remain without electricity. Many Forestry Operations lost thousands of trees, which broke in half. It may be some time before the true economic impact is known.
