Current Situation
The City of Riverside responded to a Mutual Threat Zone with Riverside County Fire to a possible swift water rescue in the Santa Ana River. Upon arrival, there were five victims and two kittens stranded on a sand bar in the Santa Ana River under the Mission Inn Ave overpass in the City limits. They were not injured and in no threat at that time. They had no way to leave the sand bar with the fast moving rising water level. We utilized a ground ladder and High Point operations from our truck companies for rescue. The five victims and two kittens were successfully moved to the street without incident or injury.
