{Proverbs 1:7 KJV}
During the recent storms, the local [County Sheriff’s Office Volunteer Search and Rescue Team] was activated to respond to a motorist stranded in floodwaters. The motorist drove past warning barriers into swift–moving floodwaters from a near–by river. The vehicle eventually became inoperable due to the floodwaters. Sheriff’s deputies arrived on scene before the search and rescue team locating [5] people inside the vehicle. All occupants were able to exit the vehicle and make it to safe ground. The occupants were then evaluated by fire and medical personnel…
The search and rescue team was then dispatched to a local mobile home park to assist with evacuating residents impacted by the rising flood waters…
After the evacuation efforts at the mobile home park were completed, the search and rescue team was then dispatched back to the same flood waters of the first incident for a reported vehicle and driver stuck in the floodwaters. Upon arrival, deputies and rescue crews located a male who was on the roof of his vehicle. The male had driven past the road closure barricades and his vehicle had been swept downstream. The search and rescue team arrived and began coordinating rescue efforts with local and state fire personnel. [2] sheriff’s volunteer swift water/flood rescuers swam across the fast–moving flood waters to reach the victim. Once there, fire personnel sent an inflatable rescue boat across by ropes to the victim and rescuers. The rescuers assisted the victim into the boat and ferried him back across the flood waters to safety and the awaiting medical personnel for evaluation…
It should be noted that while performing the rescue operation, [ANOTHER] vehicle drove Past—the road closed signs, Past—the emergency vehicles, Past—the emergency personnel, and up to the water’s edge. The driver was then turned around by sheriff’s deputies at the scene…
While it has been said Numerous times in the past and here recently, we feel it cannot be said too often:
⚠️DO NOT DRIVE PAST ROAD CLOSED SIGNS!!!⚠️
It is important to remember that during major storm events if you do [NOT] need to travel anywhere, then Don’t…
However, if you must travel then please remember to avoid Hazardous road conditions!!!
Turn Around—Don’t Drown!!!
Please, always be aware of road workers, utility crews, and first responders…
Let’s [ALL] stay safe…
Maranatha!!!
