Specialized training today in Oconee County

Oconee’s deep water lake, Jocassee, is the setting today for a training exercise by a team of civilian fire fighters and Army National Guard helicopter crews.  They are known as South Carolina “HART”–Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Teams.  They often get sent to emergencies in some of more the rugged and challenging outdoor settings in the state, and Lake Jocassee with its jagged coastline is one of those on occasion.
