The Birmingham Police Department is recognizing two of its officers for their heroic actions during Wednesday night's flooding:
"Birmingham Police Officers Evans and Burnett pulled up at 15th Ave North and 28th Street in Norwood last night to discover a vehicle completely submerged in floodwaters. They dove in to see if someone was in the vehicle.
"At that time, BFRS had arrived on a call of a water rescue and discovered two Birmingham police officers swimming from the car with a woman who was about 80 years old.
"When they pulled her to dry land, she had no pulse and was not breathing. BFRS quickly provided CPR. After two rounds of CPR, she began coughing up water. As the BFRS team continued to work with her, her pulse was restored. By the time they had her on the way to UAB she was conscious and talking with the BFRS medics.
"Thanks to our incredible public safety professionals for their heroic actions."
