“We were monitoring the water and it was rising about a foot every 25 minutes. Normally when you have these, you don't have a good surface to work on. The banks are slippery. You go through a thicket trying to get to a location.”
“A lot of times it's a loss of life. Somebody is trapped in swift water, somebody jumps in to try and save them, and you end up with two fatalities. This was done very professionally with our rescue teams.”
