I'm not sounding rude, she was so young and the news made it seem accidental, how did she pass?
Busy day today for #teamoconee. This morning members of our dive team joined Anderson Co, Abbeville Co & SC DNR on the search for a drowning victim on Lake Hartwell.
This evening Long Creek, Holly Springs, Westminster and Chetohla (Rabun, Ga) participated in a water shuttle exercise at the Long Creek Baptist Church. Following a couple of unforeseen obstacles, we were able to sustain 600 gallons per minute via a tanker shuttle in one of the most remote areas of our county. Thank you the Long Creek for hosting and especially Sawyer and Stanley for putting it together.
Our thoughts are with special family that is close to our team and going through a very difficult time tonight. Our prayers are with you and those responders who answered a call we all dread.

Great job to all involved!❓Why do we do Summer Nights on Short Street? ❓
For moments like these. The freedom of a digital-free summer evening where you run like a wild child through a sprinkler system set up by our heroes in red. 👩🏽🚒🚨🚒
So a child can meet their favorite super hero (or princess!) on a sidewalk and share with those around them the joy only a child can possess. 🧝🏻♀️🕷🕸
So a family can meet Walhalla’s men and women in uniform and understand what they encounter on a daily basis. 👮🏿♀️🚔🕊
Thursday’s are something special in Walhalla this summer. Thank you Oconee County Emergency Services, City of Walhalla Fire Department and Walhalla Police Department for all the fun!
We’ll take a break for Independence Eve (Tuesday July 3rd at the Walhalla Soccer Field) and be back July 12th for Night at the Museums. Hope to see you there!
