Here is a recap of our swift water team deployment to Cocke County over the last few days. The magnitude of the destruction in Northeast Tennessee and across the Carolinas is unprecedented and will go down in history. Pray for all the families who have lost everything, including homes and property, family, farms, their communities, and life as they knew it.

We are back home safe. I want to thank all of our guys and the many first responders we worked with during the last two days. From operating in unfamiliar flood waters in the dark of the night, with no sleep, making it through some of the most treacherous and unpredictable waters in attempt to make rescues, and adapting and overcoming when options were limited. One hell of a job, gentleman!

To those who are still operating and those who will be operating in the coming days, stay safe!
