VIDEO: A fire station in Center Point, Texas, was flooded with several feet of water on July 4, 2025, when historic flooding rocked the Texas Hill Country resulting in the deaths of at least 135 people. The generosity of others donating their time and resources got the station back on its feet.
โIt was a life-changing event,โ said Fire Chief Charles Holt with the Center Point Volunteer Fire Department. It has been four months since historic flooding pushed through Kerr County.
โThe last live rescue we had was actually right over there in that tree,โ Holt said. โShe was 25-30 feet up in that tree.โ Holt said that on the morning of the Fourth of July, they got paged for help at 3:37 a.m. โ five people stuck on a roof in Hunt.
โBy the time we knew it, the water was over the road,โ Holt said. โAnd we left the parking lot, and the water was over the hood of my truck. I mean it almost got us.โ As members of the county special operations team did high-water rescues โ the fire station back in Center Point was flooding.
