3 children stranded in Marsh Creek pulled to safety by Raleigh first responders
RALEIGH, NC (WTVD) –Unbelievable video shows a water rescue crew in Wake County pull three children trapped in quick-moving water to safety.
It happened Thursday afternoon in Marsh Creek along Partridge Lane in Raleigh. While the children are all safe, there were terrifying moments when they were stuck hanging on a frail tree branch over rushing waters.
“I said, you guys need to get out of here. You shouldn’t be playing here because it’s going to get worse. And I came back into the house maybe 15 minutes later. I hear screaming and yelling,” neighbor Mike Kallam said.
Those cries for help came from Kallam’s backyard, where three children were stranded perilously in fast-moving water.
This group of friends Kelly, Evelyn, Emma, Gavin and Andrew — ranging in age from 8 to 12 — made a stop during their bike ride to cross the rushing waterway. Once two got across the other three were stuck on the wet and slick rocks.
