A female who likely fell into Deer Creek between Warsaw and Camdenton Missouri on Monday evening during a storm is grateful that Benton County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) Deputy Burns who was in the area heard the screams of the female and he risked his life by jumping into the creek and saving her life. Deputy Burns saw the female clinging to a tree when he convinced her to allow him to rescue her even though Deputy Burns had water up to his chest when he rescued her. The female was examined by the EMS officials who found her to be in good health. I am sure that Deputy Burns will be rewarded by his superiors in a ceremony in the future since he did risk his life to save a stranger. Link is msn.com/en-us/news/cri...

I wouldn't think this woman was just out swimming. Glad Deputy Burns was in the area.

Most likely she fell into the creek by accident since it was dark and rainy.

That is true since it was raining pretty hard when she fell into the creek.

That is what I am wondering why the female was in the creek in the first place?
