US EditionCaught on camera: With assist from good Samaritans, crew pulls father, son from Wisconsin river
A firefighter and police officers rescued a father and son after they entered the Menomonee River to save their dog, with the son swept half a mile downstream, fire chief said.
- Pulling a father and his teenage son from the Menomonee River, fire crews aided by good Samaritans after a call just after 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 11.
- Pulvermacher said initial reports showed the family's dog got away and into the water, prompting the father to jump in first and his teenage son to follow and also experience trouble.
- Bodycam footage showed the pair clinging to the riverbank as responders, including a firefighter in a rescue suit, reached the teenage son after he lost his grip on a branch and was swept a half-mile downstream.
- After the rescue, an ambulance transported them to the hospital for evaluation and they have since been discharged, though the family remained uncertain about their dog's fate.
- As a precaution, Pulvermacher urged people to stay away from the river's shoreline, noting that marked areas deter proximity to the unpredictable water.
