Fort Worth Firefighters stepped in Monday night and rescued a woman who was swept away by floodwaters.
Thankfully, crews were able to get to her and bring her to safety. She was not hurt but was a little shaken up.

You don t know how deep it is, you don t know how swift it s moving. Tonight s an example of a situation that could have been much worse, we could have been out here making a recovery instead of a rescue, said Michael Drivdahl with the Fort Worth Police Department.
