MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A fire chief’s Facebook post helped save two Hurricane Harvey victims.

WJHL reported that when two Shelby County Fire Department employees were deployed to Houston, Deputy Fire Chief Glen Kneeland posted a Facebook status to let other firefighters know.

Carolyn Gish responded to the post and asked the department if they could do anything about two people who were stranded in their home.

“I knew that people were reaching out any way to get family and friends help and this just so happened to be her way to help,” Chief Kneeland said.
