TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A rescue was caught on camera when several officers helped three people trapped in rapidly rising waters in Tallahassee.

According to the City of Tallahassee Police Department, officers worked alongside local fire rescue and EMS to save the stranded individuals.

The video shows officers using a long rope to reach and pull them to safety.

"Do not let go of the rope," officials yell out. "Let go of the tree, you're okay, you're alright."
