  UPDATE: They are headed to Asheville to assist……..
  THANK YOU TOWN OF HILLSBOROUGH!!!!!!!
  We have already submitted a request to assist through Emergency Management. I currently have 6 operators, and we can bring a backhoe, excavator, side-by-side, or skid steer. Along with pickup trucks loaded with chainsaws and other small equipment to clear roadways or whatever the need may be. We had requested to be near the Black Mountain area(Lake Lure, Crooked Creek, Chimney Rock, Marion) but can respond wherever the help is needed. Asheville is good too.
