Effingham County Dive Rescue Team

While volunteers are standing by to help, we encourage you to stay off of flooded roadways so we dont have to! Countless roads are flooded throughout the county!

Make sure you pay attention to buoys and markers while boating. Many times accidents can be prevented if you know and obey all buoys and markers. Take a boating safety course to learn more about boating safely. .

We are looking for self starters who want to meet the demands of membership on the Dive-Rescue team. We have immediate openings for Shore Responders (non diving) team members. Basic training is set for August 19th and 20th. You must interview, pass a physical fitness test and have a clear criminal record. If interested, act quickly. We may also have 1 diving position to fill. Contact Commander Terry Trueblood 217-821-4378 or [email protected]
