When a major emergency happens in the City of Williamsburg, one man oversees search-and-rescue operations. Williamsburg Fire Chief and Emergency Coordinator Pat Dent was spending a leisurely day at the pool July 8. Dent’s daughter had celebrated her wedding the day before, and Dent said he thought he would spend his Sunday at the pool with his wife and granddaughter. But it wasn’t meant to be a relaxing day. Reports of a helicopter crash into a residential complex set Dent and other first responders into action that afternoon. “We had just gotten in my car when the call came in,” Dent said.
