The Greensboro Fire Department has deployed two swift-water rescue teams to help with rescue efforts in eastern North Carolina after Hurricane Florence. So far, they've left no human or animal behind. The teams are stationed in Pender County, where Greensboro firefighter Tim Carrier said the flooding is like nothing he's ever seen. "I've been on a couple deployments and I've never had this amount of rescues," said Carrier, a six-year veteran with the GFD. "The locals here never expected it to be this bad."
Carrier said the team of about 16 saved an elderly couple and more than 40 dogs inside a single house last week.
