Flood Rescue Heroes of Cincinnati | Cincinnati News
Description
When flash floods hit Cincinnati on July 17th, the Fire Department’s Heavy Rescue No. 9 was caught mid-training—now racing to save lives as waters surged. Captain Derek Hunt and his crew pulled two from a submerged car, while Assistant Chief Matt Flagler personally drove through floodwaters to rescue an elderly woman. Over 40 people needed help, plus four lightning-sparked fires. With dry suits, flotation gear, and poles to probe dangerous waters, crews made split-second calls to prioritize rescues—training that turned surreal reality into life-saving action.
