Hi Gayle, 

The nearest MSAR unit to you may be Lowcountry Mounted Search and
Rescue, sponsored by Charleston County Emergency Preparedness
Division.  Here is a contact person for the county Emerg Prep Div:

James Tarter, Charleston County Emergency Preparedness Division
4045 Bridge View Drive
North Charleston, SC 29405
Phone: (843) 202-7405
Fax: (843) 202-7408
E-mail: jtarter@charlestoncounty.org

The county has a volunteer fire and rescue squad, which has separate
teams that do large animal rescue and MSAR.  Likely there is a lot
of overlap between the two teams.  See their respective web pages: 

http://chasrescue.homestead.com/
http://chasrescue.homestead.com/LART.html
http://chasrescue.homestead.com/MSAR.html

(Everyone, the LART page is worth a visit:  many very interesting
photos of large animal rescues and equipment.)

Gayle, if you get new information and can correct or update what
is on http://www.ibiblio.org/msar/units/#South%20Carolina, please
e-mail it to msar@ibiblio.org.

Thanks,
