Hood County Leak

On August 17th, 2016, Cox was on duty and received a call around 4:45 PM about a leak in a woman's backyard and driveway in the town of Acton, Texas. [undefined] [1] He answered the call to pick up a little over time and headed over to Andrea Adams' house to inspect the leak. Cox submerged himself five feet deep into the flood to plug a 1-inch pipe that had burst. [666666]

Cox says: "I wasn't even able to get the clampers, so we had to cut it and put a valve on there when it was underwater."

[undefined]

Both Cox and Adams have disabled their Facebook due to the inundation of emails and messages regarding the photo. [1]
