Several water-related incidents occurred around Lake Cumberland last summer.
With the peak tourism season getting underway soon, bringing more people to the water, Russell County Search and Rescue Commander Chris Money said his team stays prepared to help as needed.
For those planning to be around the water this summer, Money said the most important thing to do is wear a life jacket. He says it can be the difference between life and death.
Money said it’s important to wear a life jacket anytime you are near the water, no matter how strong of a swimmer you are.
Stay tuned to WJRS News this week to hear more from Money about the local search and rescue team.
