(ABC NEWS<\/a>) \u2013 First responders in Georgia rescued up to 27 people from a flooded parking lot with chest-deep waters Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Just after 1:30 p.m., firefighters in Gwinnett County, northwest of Atlanta, were dispatched to a parking lot and two businesses located at the bottom of a hill after they became flooded with water, according to Gwinnett County Fire & Emergency Services.<\/p>\n

Parts of the parking lot were filled with waist and chest-deep waters, officials said. First responders were able to walk about half of the people out through water that was just ankle deep.<\/p>\n

The remaining people were moved to higher ground using a raft from the Swiftwater Rescue Team, according to officials. Between 24 and 27 were rescued, but no injuries were reported.<\/p>\n

Gwinnett County officials encouraged residents to stay alert to weather conditions and be prepared to evacuate due to flooding.<\/p>\n
