ORANGE, Texas -- A team of National Guardsmen, Coast Guardsmen, swift-water rescue technicians and volunteers worked together to rescue and air-lift a patient needing special medical attention, from severe flooding to a safe, medical facility, in Orange, Texas, August 30, 2017.
Service members from the Texas National Guard and a swift-water rescue team from Texas Task Force 1 and the Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Service arrived in a severely flooded neighborhood looking to help anyone in need, when due to special circumstances they ended up flagging down a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter and medically evacuating a patient, rescuing him from danger and potentially saving his life.
"When we first got the call the information we were given was that there was a request to evacuate two elderly individuals, one of whom was paralyzed," said Roger Patterson, Texas Task Force 1 squad leader. "Our Texas National Guard team assisted us with their high-profile vehicles to get us as close to the house as possible."
