Water Rescue Team helps trapped woman escape home

Members of the Bartholomew County Water Rescue Team rescued a woman trapped in her home Sunday morning.

Authorities were called to the home on South Ferguson Road shortly after 11 a.m. after the woman reported that she was stuck with a foot of water inside the house.

Members of the Bartholomew County Water Rescue Team responded to the scene where they were able to shuttle a small boat across fast flowing water to the residence and safely bring the woman onto dry land.

The Sheriff’s Department adds that “Road Closed” signs were put up the entrance to South Ferguson Road due to the dangerous high water.

No injuries were reported.
