HOUSTON — Floodwaters from tropical depression Imelda on Thursday seeped into a Caney Creek fire station while firefighters conducted high-water rescues, according to the Montgomery County Police Reporter.
The firefighters returned to the station, located across from Caney Creek High School, Thursday morning to find about a foot of water covering the floor, said Fire Chief Raymond Flannelly, who oversees the Montgomery County Emergency Services District No. 9.
A fire engine and ambulance had to be reassigned to another station, he said. The water destroyed two generators and the septic system, as well as office files and a copy machine, he said.
“Today [the water] definitely took a toll on the rescuers,” he said.
