I was a witness to a rescue effort later the same day that I had checked river conditions to do some trout fishing. Two individuals who climbed down to the base of a river canyon apparently walked through some quick flowing river water and became stranded on a large rock in the middle of the Vermillion River located in Hastings MN. Thankfully with the emergency rescue support they were brought back to safety. Ultimately they will have the final say in what happened that day and a story that will amaze some.
This was added from a news source from Fox 9
FOX 9 is told emergency crews responded to Vermillion Falls Park for the rescue effort Wednesday evening around 6 p.m.
The teens had been swept away by the water but managed to climb onto a rock. Rescues were able to get floatation devices to the teens and called in the Minnesota Air Rescue Team to help get them out.
The chopper was able to airlift both victims to safety. It took about an hour to rescue the teens.
Hastings Fire Chief John Townsend says the incident is a reminder for residents to stay out of the water, as the spring flows have made for dangerous conditions.
