The Spokane Fire Department water rescue team saved a father and daughter who were stranded on rocks in the Devil’s Toenail area of the Spokane River Sunday afternoon. The pair were inner-tubing the river when they tipped over in the rapids, becoming stranded on the rocks in the middle of the river, according to a fire department news release. About 30 firefighters from the Spokane Fire Department and Spokane Valley Fire Department responded at about 2 p.m. to an area about a half-mile south of the Rifle Club entrance on Aubrey L. White Parkway. They were able to ferry the pair to the shore.
