DUXBURY, Mass. (WHDH) — Members of the Duxbury Fire Department waded through floodwaters Thursday to help bring students to school.

First responders used a high-water rescue truck to reach a family whose children were unable to get to school because of the flooding from Wednesday’s storm.

Duxbury Dep. Chief Chris West guessed the water was nearly 4 feet deep around the houses.

West said the department got the high-water vehicle from a military surplus after the flooding the town received in January’s storm.
