Kershaw County EMS extends our deepest condolences to the Columbia Police Department following the line-of-duty death of Officer Christopher M. DeLong.

Our hearts are with Officer DeLong’s family, friends, fellow officers, and the entire Columbia Police Department as they mourn this unimaginable loss. We also continue to keep the injured officer, their family, and all those affected by today’s events in our thoughts.

Although our uniforms, roles, and jurisdictions may differ, those who serve in public safety share a common commitment to protecting and caring for our communities. Today, the men and women of Kershaw County EMS stand alongside our brothers and sisters at the Columbia Police Department as they honor one of their own.

Officer DeLong, thank you for your service, courage, and sacrifice. Your dedication to the community you served will not be forgotten.

End of Watch: August 29, 2026

Rest easy, Officer DeLong. 💙🖤

Do you know what's better than one boat staffed by qualified Kershaw County Fire Service and Kershaw County Emergency Medical Services personnel?

Two boats!

This weekend, boat 12 and boat 16 are patroling up and down Lake Wateree, protecting residents and boaters on this sweltering summer day.

Remember to stay hydrated, drink WATER, and always be safe on the water!
