Howe Springs (SC) Fire Department Adds More Life-Saving Fire Equipment

One Pee Dee Fire department is taking lessons learned from Hurricane Matthew and the thousand-year flood and adding new resources to its department. The Howe Springs Fire Department is now sporting two new boats.

WMBFNews.com, Myrtle Beach/Florence SC, Weather Fire Chief Billy Dillon said during both flooding events, the department had to rely on other agencies and personal boats to save people during evacuations.

He said the two new boats were also needed, because within the area the department serves there are two rivers.

Ocean City (MD) Council Votes Not to Go Forward with New Fire Station

In the wake of millions of proposed spending, the Ocean City Council has opted to pump the brakes on a new fire station. On Tuesday, March 28, the Ocean City Council voted 4-3 to not go forward in spending $30,000 on preliminary designs for a new Station 3 building.

Citing a lack of immediate need and past spending, including a proposed $25 million public works campus master plan at 66th Street and $2 million on the purchase of a lot on St. Louis Avenue, the council decided to suspend the discussion on the property until an immediate need is found.

This delay in the process could save the city $3.3 million in expenditures in the short term, with the council using Station 4, completed in 2014, as a benchmark.
