The Coast Guard team aboard Rescue 6553 saved nearly 200 people trapped by the deadly floods in Texas this past week.

Scott Ruskan had only been a fully trained Coast Guard rescue swimmer for six months when he saved 165 campers from Camp Mystic.

Scott Ruskan, a rescue swimmer for the U.S. Coast Guard, is being hailed as a hero for his response to the devastating flooding at Camp Mystic in Hunt, Texas. He is credited with saving 165 lives and opened up about the experience on the July 7 episode of 'Good Morning America.

The Austin, Texas, fire chief is being accused of denying requests to send rescuers to Kerrville days before the catastrophic flooding — because of an $800,000 dispute with the state government.
