In this episode of The Real ResQ Podcast—the first of seven episodes highlighting the rescue efforts during the Kerr County, Texas Floods of July 4th, 2025—host Jason Quinn sits down with Mark Moody, a Lieutenant with the San Antonio Fire Department and Squad Leader for Texas Task Force One.

Recording from his home in the heart of Texas, Moody shares powerful firsthand experiences—from his very first water rescue to the harrowing Kerrville incident that pushed his leadership and composure to their limits. His stories provide a vivid, boots-on-the-ground look at the challenges, triumphs, and intensity of the rescue operations on that historic day.

Moody and his boat teams faced unexpected obstacles and fought their way through rapidly rising floodwaters, adapting on the fly to those in distress in a chaotic and dangerous environment.
