Crews Practice Flood Rescues At Camp Ashland

(Ashland, NE)  --  The National Guard and Nebraska Task Force One are practicing rescuing flood victims.  Reports say crews trained at Camp Ashland using flood-damaged buildings scheduled to be demolished yesterday.  Helicopters flew over houses and identify flood victims before a second helicopter would come through and perform the mock rescue.  The National Guard rescued more than 100 people within the first two days of flooding that began back in March.
