When you think of firefighters arriving at a scene to help, you likely picture them doing so in a truck.
However, frequent heavy rains have created some scenes over the years that are not conducive for trucks. Thanks to some help from the Rotary Club of Abbeville, the Abbeville Fire Department now has a boat.
Abbeville Assistant Fire Chief Kelly Mire told members of the Rotary Club that the idea that the department needed a boat began after the historic flooding in August of 2016.
