Dewees Island Public Safety
&
Volunteers
A young man went
missing while swimming off Dewees front beach yesterday.
A full-fledged search and rescue mission was activated which
included the Coast Guard, Isle of Palms Fire Department ,Dewees Island Public Safety
and Island Resident volunteers. After several hours of active searching the man
was located alive and well on Isle of Palms. He'd swum the front beach of
Dewees as well as Dewees Inlet to the Isle of Palms. He was very fortunate that
he didn't drown as this is a dangerous activity.
Kevin Cordell led the search and rescue effort for Dewees
Island Public Safety Department.

Dewees Islander Generator Repair
We have had a problem with the boat's generator quitting
unexpectedly.
Kevin Cordell , Dewees Island Public Safety firemen and
mechanic and
Tripp Hannah seem to have isolated the insidious problem for us on
Sunday.
The generator has been running every day this week with out a hitch.
