Dozens of rescue teams responded to the call for help after the July 4 flooding in Kerr County, including officers from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s (TPWD) Game Wardens and the specialized air team.
Game Wardens Brent Biggs, Lt. Robert Mitchell and Jacob Crumpton were among the first helicopter teams to arrive in Kerr County, if only by a few minutes.
The team was involved in several rescues along the Guadalupe River. They helped people stuck in trees get to dry land.
They were also part of the team that rescued 36 of the 200 girls from Camp Mystic. The team was gracious enough to share their personal stories of what that day was like for them with KSAT 12 News.
