The town's volunteer first responders have been working almost non-stop since the first flood hit on the afternoon of July 10. "We almost went around the clock from that point forward," said Deasy.

WPTZ-TV NBC 5 PLATTSBURGH New study to address training, resources for shipboard fires at South Carolina ports VIDEO: The North Charleston City Council voted unanimously to approve a study identifying and addressing risks for onboard ship fires at Charleston Ports. The study is being funded by a grant received from the South Carolina Department of Veterans Affairs totaling $247,381. The main goal of this study is to ensure marine firefighters and port workers have the proper training and resources to act in an emergency. "It's going to really help us and tell us what we need to know to protect our city on the waterways," North Charleston City Councilmember Jerome Heyward said. Shipboard fires are different from a typical fire response due to the severity of the spread and what dangers it could pose. "Ship fires are very unique fires," Fire Chief Greg Bulanow said.
