AUSTIN, Texas — A picture that shows the dedication of firefighters in Texas has emerged amidst the devastation of the flash floods that swept across the state Thursday.
The Austin Fire Department posted a photo on its Facebook page of firefighters Matt Harvey and Michael Cooper pulling a dog out of the flood waters and to safety Thursday morning.
The photo was taken by department photographer Preston Colber who went along with the crews as they traveled door to door in the city’s Pleasant Valley Road area to rescue residents from their flooded homes. Harvey and Cooper, who were on their day off after working a 24-hour shift and not available for comment, spotted the dog stranded in about 12 feet of water from the nearby Onion Creek.
