On 7/7/2023, prior to the opening ceremony for the Dixie Youth baseball tournament, a severe thunderstorm struck the area with strong winds and heavy rain. LREMS personnel were in our first aid tent when the strongest wind struck. The tent was lifted and taken about 100 feet before striking a barrier fence. Our personnel were able to self extricate and received only minor injuries. The tent was destroyed. As for the storm, there was no warning and no time to evacuate.
This is another example of the risks first responders take to help their communities. We are blessed no one was injured seriously.
LREMS wishes to extend its condolences to the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office in the passing of Detective Patrick Locklear on 6-11-2023. Detective Locklear had been battling Cancer for the last two and half years but continued to serve his county until the end. Please continue to keep Detective Locklear’s family and friends in your prayers in the days ahead.
LREMS wishes to say Happy EMS Week 2023 to all of our paid and volunteer EMS personnel! Thank you for all you do to help others in their time of need.
