In November of last year, two DeSoto County teenagers were in danger after their SUV crashed and went into a ravine. It had been raining, and the water in the ravine was moving fast.

But the girls were lucky because one of the people who witnessed the accident was Johnathon Bigham. And Captain Bigham is the leader of DeSoto County Search & Rescue, a group of about 34 volunteers who get called to help with emergencies.

Though he didn't have any equipment or team members with him, Bigham sprang into action, saving the girls in what was DeSoto County's third water rescue that year.

North Mississippi reporter Brandon LaGrone II recently wrote a story about the team and the changes Bigham has instituted to make it more effective. LeGrone joins us today to talk about it.
