Waters are continuing to rise in south Bossier. Emergency crews have set up a mobile help center. That's where NBC 6 reporter Karen Hopkins discovered some hometown heroes.

Just past the flooded road gushing with water, under the full moon, you'll find two men, unafraid, wading through it all.
“They've done a wonderful job this time, keeping us informed, making sure we are ok,” Joy Mitchell says.

She's talking about these Bossier sheriff deputies. As flooding spreads near south Bossier homes, deputies are walking waist high in water to make sure everyone's safe.

Just a drive shows the danger. The water’s so high over the roads. There's no easy way out or in. That's why emergency crews are doing routine checks, welcoming some home. “It's tough to work all day and be worried about what's going home,” Bob Jackson says.

But not everyone's too concerned. Vietnam veteran Dewey Venable says he and his dog Shelly are doing just fine.
“I've seen a whole lot of things in my life and this is just one more.
You live and you deal with what comes and you go on.”

And that's what families along the flooded route are doing. But they say it's a comfort to know someone's watching out for them.

A number of people are helping out. State police and the National Guard are also doing routine checks. The American Red Cross is giving out meals.
