South Carolina alligator disrupts Horry County after firefighters, just back from a medical call, discover a small reptile casually meandering across Old Reaves Ferry Road—prompting searches for 'how do firefighters remove alligators?' and 'are alligators common in South Carolina traffic?' Two crews redirect traffic, summoning wildlife officers; 'We redirected vehicles until backup arrived,' officials noted dryly.

After firefighters rerouted traffic for the bewildered alligator, the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources whisked the reptile away, sparking fresh queries about 'alligator road safety' and 'strangest wildlife rescues.' Imagine a gurney swapped for a gator as emergency responders pondered their day’s unexpected choreography. No word yet on whether the alligator left a Yelp review.

The rescued alligator, estimated at under five feet, caused a 17-minute road delay—making Horry County the unlikely stage for the day’s most orderly reptilian detour.
