RAW: McCaysville Police Chief Michael Earley gives update

It looks like the National Guard is the National Guard. Have they been called in? They have not. That's a Blackhawk, and they're from our, we got a ranger base, just outside of our county. They've come in to help. Yes, Camp Frank D. Merrill. Have we seen any injuries so far? I know that we couldn't hear anything earlier. What's it look like now? Not that we know of so far. We're still going house to house, checking houses, and trying to see if there's anybody that was left in the house. And that's obviously what they're doing as well. We had reports that some people was on the roofs of their house. So we put drones up in the sky and then we got the Black Hawk as well. 30 to 40 people were rescued around 8 o'clock this morning. Have we seen any more rescues? Yes. How many? Maybe five to six more. So we're looking at maybe 46 people, 45, 46? Yes, and we're still actively pursuing that as we speak. Last time we spoke with you, you let us know about that propane tank that was on fire. Obviously, it did explode, let out some pressure there, and became a little bit of a scarier situation. We saw someone loaded onto a stretcher, were they injured? Yes, we had a firefighter that was injured during that time. And what are the extent of those injuries? She's well. Okay. She just had some leg pain and collapsed on us. Now that these floodwaters are starting to really recede rapidly, how does that help with the mission and still in here? It helps us get to the residents homes and trying to see if there's somebody still inside the home. Obviously when you have to do everything with a boat it makes things difficult and of course Of course, at dark time as well. Chief, I know three months ago you went through something similar here in downtown. We did. How does this compare to August? August was nothing compared to this. Are you nervous that there could be more people inside the homes right now?
