At 09:18 MRU18 and 18M2 responded to River Rd south of Dobbinsville for a Vehicle in Floodwater. The crew found 1 person stranded in a vehicle in approx. 3 ft of water. The crew rescued her and her Christmas presents. TMC was advised of the conditions, and the Road was closed. 

At 09:57 Ladder 18 responded to a House Fire in the Chelsea Estates development. The crew completed searches, and found a fire in the crawlspace. The fire was extinguished and damage was minimal. The crew operated for 1 hour before returning to service.

At 22:17 MRU18 again responded to River Rd for a Vehicle in Floodwater. The crews searched 2 vehicles in water. The occupants had abandoned their vehicles and did not mark them, so Technicians had to enter the water to search them. The vehicles were turned over to NCPD for removal.
