When Hurricane Helene swept through Western North Carolina, it left a trail of downed trees, debris, and damage in its path. For the small mountain communities of Bat Cave and Chimney Rock, the storm’s impact was felt immediately — but so was the outpouring of neighborly support.
One of the local heroes answering the call was Jake Jarvis, owner of Precision Grading in Saluda, NC. Without waiting for recognition or requests, Jake and his crew rolled in with heavy equipment, donating both their time and resources to help with cleanup and recovery.
