They deployed from the Upstate to the coast, ready to help wherever needed following Florence. Now, some of our local water rescue teams are back home. The images coming in from the coast are devastating. But they've become familiar sights to rescue teams right in the middle of it all. Lt. Mike Ross is with the Boiling Springs Fire District and is a volunteer with the Greenville County Emergency Response team. “There's a lot of flooding, mainly due to the flash flooding from the rains that we got and now the problem is the flood waters from North Carolina coming into our state.” Lt. Ross just returned home last night. He's been in the Horry County area since late last week. “We all get into this job to help people and knowing our fellow South Carolinians need help, we're gonna step up and go down and do what we have to do to help them.”
