2. Dorchester County opens first building solely for coroner's office (live5news.com) — Dorchester County has opened its first dedicated coroner's office on West 5th North Street in Summerville, bringing autopsy services and modern investigative tools much closer to local families.

3. Fire truck costs, wait times surge for Lowcountry departments (live5news.com) — Summerville Fire Rescue is grappling with fire trucks that now cost roughly double and can take three to four years to arrive, straining the town's budget and aging fleet.
