San Diego crews prepared for potential flooding hazards and emergencies Sunday night. San Diego Fire-Rescue Marine Safety Lt. Ryan Foster said his team of 25 highly trained swift water rescue lifeguards were prepared to respond.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have units deployed strategically throughout the city to make sure the entire city is covered from the Tijuana River Valley to Mission Valley, Sorento Valley,\u201d Foster said. \u201cAny time the rain comes quickly, a large amount of rain, in a short amount of time, that\u2019s when we have the most flooding in the city of San Diego.\u201d<\/p>\n
Just in the last week, Foster\u2019s team responded to 11 different floodwater rescues.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the City of San Diego said its crews responded to nearly 300 reports of flooding and other rain-related issues.<\/p>\n
