Yet Another Water Rescue

It is beginning to sound like a broken record.  Rangers at Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park assisted with another water rescue, this time on the Little Darby Creek.  This is the 7th water rescue on the Big Darby and Little Darby Creeks in 6 weeks.

It appears an experienced paddler got caught in flash flood after two days of rainstorm and capsized her kayak.  Fire rescue located the woman clinging to a tree in the creek, while holding her dog.  In order to be rescued, she had to let go of the dog.  But not to worry, Rangers were able to rescue the dog downstream and reunite the doge with the owner.  Click here for the 10tv video of the story.

This coming just days after an elderly couple was stranded on an island in the Big Darby with a capsized and sunk canoe.  Unable to get the submerged canoe, rescuers had to be called for assistance.
