Jefferson County Rescue Squad

This afternoon just after 1 PM Jefferson County Rescue Squad was dispatched to the Leadville area of Douglas Lake for a possible drowning. Approximately one and a half hours later, a body was located with a ROV from TWRA and side scan sonar. A member of our dive team made the recovery and TWRA is investigating the incident.

We would like to thank Cocke County swift water rescue team for their assistance in the recovery process and remind everyone to please wear a life jacket anytime you are on the water.

Prayers for the Devotie family and Lakeway Central Fire, it was a honor to work along side Joe.

Recently some of our members were able to attend Rescue Squad Day on the hill at the Capitol in Nashville.

They had the opportunity to speak with the governor our senators and representatives about issues and legislation affecting emergency services across the state.
Thank you to those that where able to go to Nashville.
