Before millions of people flock to Lake Lanier this summer, Hall County Fire Services Deputy Fire Chief Chad Black knew the county’s marine rescue team needed reinforcement. “This will be our 10th year in operation, and it’s one of the busiest marine rescue teams in the nation based on call volume and, unfortunately, victim removal,” he said. With two boats constantly in and out of the repair shop, the county’s fire crews requested $106,000 for the purchase of a new 23-foot aluminum rescue boat to arrive before Memorial Day.
