Hartford man goes from stranded on mountain top to helping flood relief efforts in Newport [Video]

It started on Aug. 16, 2022 when officers found a woman’s remains were found in a wooded area around E. Fourth Avenue.

He was stranded in his home when the flooded started but knew he had to get out to help those affected.

For many of those who are still under a boil water advisory, it has been a week since they’ve had clean drinking water in their home.

Twenty-three members with Knox County Rescue were deployed to North Carolina and parts of Tennessee over the last several days.

The TDOSHS said there will be three stations set up for people to visit.
