Apr. 7—Firefighters early Friday rescued three people near downtown Houston who were trapped when Buffalo Bayou began rising during a storm.
Emergency responders received a call from three people after 4 a.m. who had taken refuge under a bridge near Smith and Preston streets when the water in Buffalo Bayou began to rise rapidly, Hunter Chappeaux, a district chief for the Houston Fire Department, told Metro Video Services. Firefighters arrived and lowered a ladder to the three men, who were able to climb out.
It took about 30 minutes to rescue the men.
