Our prayers go out to the family, friends, and fellow firefighters of Cheyenne Jackson, a dedicated firefighter in Dorchester County who previously served many years in Barnwell County!

Today, you may notice a large presence of fire trucks and emergency vehicles along Highway 78 as his body will be escorted home from Summerville to Williston.

All motorists are asked to use caution, show respect, and allow space for the procession as it passes.
