The Elizabethtown and Glendale Fire Departments took part in a water rescue over the weekend, which was needed due to flooding from rain. According to Elizabethtown Deputy Fire Chief Everett Roberts, a truck with one adult man and three children was trapped by high water and wedged against a rock. The truck was close enough to the bank that the children were able to leap to safety, but the man escaped to the roof of the vehicle to wait until help arrived. All trapped occupants were rescued successfully, and were unharmed.
