Helipad to be added to the Keowee Fire Department

Keowee Fire Department, based at Keowee Key, is confident that it will be able to build a landing area and platform for medical helicopters, and the chairman of the fire commission predicts that’s going to enhance how medical emergencies are responded to there.  Don Chamberlain, the chairman, reported the fire department is well on its way to have a medical helipad, thanks to property donated by the Keowee Key project and a $20 thousand donation from “a very kind person.”  When the cost of re-locating power lines is factored, Chamberlain estimates, the cost of the helipad will be $60 thousand.
