Swift Water Rescue Required in Harford County: Officials

First responders were called to rescue someone stuck in a vehicle amid high water on Wednesday night, officials reported.

The swift water rescue occurred near Sandy Hook and Scarboro roads, according to Rich Gardiner, spokesman for the Harford County Volunteer Fire and EMS Association.

Gardiner said that nobody was injured but the individual needed assistance getting out of the vehicle due to the swift waters in the area.

Crews from Darlington, Bel Air and the Harford County Technical Rescue Team reportedly responded to the call.

Harford County was under a flood warning until 11:30 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.

During a flood warning, flooding is imminent or occurring. If drivers encounter water of unknown depths, they should turn around—don’t drown—and move to a higher elevation.

“If you see standing or rushing water, do drive through it! Turn around and seek an alternate route,” the Darlington Volunteer Fire Company said in a statement. “If the water is not blocked by signage or a public service vehicle, please contact 9-1-1 or local law enforcement so the appropriate measures can be taken!”
