You don't know what it's in the water, it could have sewage in it, or chemicals, it's very dangerous to even enter floodwater let alone to go swimming, they are very brave men to do what they did and thankfully it ended well.

Assistant Fire Chief Jerry Jenkins

It was very dangerous, with flood conditions and moving waters it's a risky rescue even for first responders, there have been folks who have lost their lives, being civilians and making rescues. What they did was very brave, and they are very heroic, but there is definitely a side of caution.
