Fortunately, the local fire service were able to respond rapidly to the call – as the huge number of floods continues to cause major problems.

The shocking footage was taken in Mossman, Queensland, Australia, as reported by Need To Know.

The rescue is one of the latest incidents to occur as dozens of sites across Northern Australia have been hit with floods.

A number of vehicles were left stuck overnight in Far North Queensland.

River levels in the area are rapidly increasing with the area suffering huge downpours of rain.

Residents in towns such as Katherine in Northern Australia have been warned to stay out of flood water.

With the worst flooding in decades taking place, the risk of wastewater overflows and crocodiles are extremely high.

A spokesperson for Queensland Fire and Rescue service said: “This footage taken by our personnel shows crews assisting someone from the roof of their car in fast-flowing floodwater at Mossman.

“Our crews are here to help but with more rain expected in northern Queensland this week.

“It’s important to keep yourself safe by staying across weather updates and never entering floodwater by foot or car.”
