Governor Lee Signs Bill to Aid Weather and Flood Victims Across Tennessee

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has signed a new bill aimed at providing crucial aid to victims of severe weather and flooding across the state. The legislation comes as Eastern Tennessee, along with several other states, struggles with the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which made landfall as a Category 4 storm on Thursday night.

In addition to the relief bill, Governor Lee announced that Tennessee is requesting a Major Disaster Declaration from FEMA. This would bring additional resources and support to counties hit hardest by the storm.

Maury County Fire Department Rescues Teen at Duck River 

From Maury County Fire Department’s Facebook post:

DATE: 9/26/2024

SUBJECT: HIGH ANGLE ROPE RESCUE

LOCATION: Sowell Mill Pike Bridge in Maury County

On Thursday, 9/26/2024 @ 5:21PM the Maury County Fire Department responded to a reported teenager fallen down an embankment to the edge of the Duck River while attempting to go fishing.

The patient experienced an extremity injury that required the patient to be extracted in a stokes basket along with a rope system. A Maury Regional EMS Paramedic Supervisor attended to the patient and a 3:1 haul system was set up on the roadway. Firefighters extracted the patient and delivered them to an awaiting ambulance with serious, but non life-threatening injuries.

The Maury County Fire Department has trained in this specific location with this specific scenario which led to the rescue being completed quickly and efficiently.
