This weekend, our Cherokee County Search and Rescue team had an unforgettable training day during the "Over The Edge" event! Thanks to the brave team from Fire Station 12, we were skillfully lowered down an elevator shaft and we honed our low-angle rope skills in a thrilling setting. 🧗‍♂️

We also took a moment to celebrate a monumental milestone. Chief Mitchell, our Special Operations Chief who has dedicated 45 incredible years to the fire department, is retiring. The lunch party was filled with joy and gratitude as we honored his legendary service. 🚒🏅

Here are some snapshots from our day—training hard and celebrating harder! Thank you, Chief Mitchell, for your leadership and wisdom. The impact of your service will be felt for many years to come.
