The Prince William County Swift Water Rescue Team, activated by the Virginia Department of Emergency Management due to Hurricane Helene, concluded their deployment and safely returned home. They were initially deployed to Norton, Virginia, and subsequently assisted in various rescue operations in Washington County and the Town of Damascus, where they dealt with historic rainfall and flooding. Over the course of their deployment, the team successfully rescued 19 people, with one requiring helicopter rescue. They were visited by Governor Glenn Youngkin (R) and even rescued an American flag from flood debris. The team has now returned to the county and is back at the Training Academy.
