Serving the Citizens of Berkeley County Since 1966!

Rescue 1 is a 1995 Suburban 4x4 that we purchased from Charleston County. It replaced a 1975 Suburban 4x4 that had a manual transmission and no A/C. A welcomed upgrade.

Rescue 2 is a Ford Explorer 4x4 that replaced a 20 year old Chevrolet Van that was worn out and without A/C. It was another welcomed upgrade.

Rescue 3 is a twenty year old workhorse. It's like the Energizer Bunny - It keeps going and going and going!

Rescue 4 is our first run crash truck. It responds to all vehicle entrapments and carries all the tools and the Hurst Jaws of life.

Rescue 5 is an 18ft Wahoo with a 150hp Johnson motor. It is our second run boat for most water missions. We recently replaced the motor on this boat with a DNR grant.

Rescue 6 is a 25ft Boston Whaler with twin 150hp Johnson motors. It is our primary boat for really rough water.

Rescue 7 is the sister boat to 6. It is also a 25ft Boston Whaler with a different cab design. We acquired it from Coast Guard Charleston with help from Senator Thurmond and Senator Hollings.

Rescue 8 is a 2001 Ford F150 and serves as our second run auto extrication (crash) vehicle. We also use it to pull boats for water rescues.

Rescue 9 is a 2002 Ford F150 4x4. It is the first new vehicle the squad has purchased in over 20 years. It is used for land searches and to pull Rescue 6 or 7.

Rescue 10 is a 19' Boston Whaler with a 225hp Evinrude motor. It has a dive door cutout that makes it easier for the divers to re-enter the boat following a dive. Senator Grooms helped us get the grant to buy this boat.

Rescue 11 is a 1990 Ford F350 Crewcab that is used mainly to pull Rescue 6 or 7.

Rescue 12 is a 16ft Palm Coast with a 60hp Evinrude motor that we acquired from Charleston County Sheriff's Department.
