Just another routine drunk call, or
at least that is what Lt. Teresa Price thought. In the early morning hours of a Monday,
just after responding to a disorderly call, Lt. Price noticed a fog that was
hanging over the lot. Not uncommon for this time of year in South Carolina, but
something was different about the fog this time. It was a rolling
fog. Then she smelled the smoke. Lt.
Price immediately knew what she had. A fire. A fire so close to the hospital
the potential for a catastrophe was within an arms reach. Lt. Price sealed off
the area, notified emergency personnel and did a safety sweep of the
area.
EMS and the
local fire department responded, and they were able to save the building and
the surrounding buildings. The only injury was that of a fireman, who was
treated and released.
Her quick response and attention to
detail saved property and probably lives. As others were still asleep, or just
starting their morning, Lt. Price was doing what she always does; a
professional job.
