CHARLOTTE — In an act of interstate assistance, members of the Charlotte Fire Department are heading up to Vermont.
North Carolina Task Force 3 was deployed to help as Emergency Responders prepare for ‘catastrophic, life-theatening’ flooding, according to the fire department.
In the past week, most areas in Vermont have seen between two and eight inches of rain.
Rain in the Charlotte area over the weekend caused enough flash flooding to submerge cars and flood rivers.

“It was pouring rain and I started getting some texts from some other residents in the building and then I realized, oh no, I better go and check my car,” Charlotte Resident Kat King said. “By the time I opened the garage door, the water was moving so fast that I was afraid to step into it to get to my car.”
