The Chattanooga Fire Department responded Thursday to a flooded creek that had trapped several people and animals in an encampment near the intersection of Quinn Adams Street and East 42nd Street.
Firefighters rescued 10 people and 14 dogs by boat. One dog was dead, according to the fire department. At least five people walked out of the floodwaters.
Firefighters searched the floodwaters for hours, checking individual camps.
The flooded creek at Quinn Adams Street is the only flood-related incident in Hamilton County that had been reported to the 911 center as of Thursday afternoon, center spokesperson Bruce Garner said by email.
