Two water rescues and a motorcycle accident near Fall City made for an eventful evening for Fire District 27 emergency personnel, and surrounding agencies yesterday.
None of the 17 people involved in the water incidents were injured during their adventures, but a motorcyclist who crashed after hitting a patch of gravel sustained a broken shoulder and some broken ribs, said FD 27’s acting Lieutenant Joe Springer.
The people in the water, all recreational tubers, were rescued at different locations and times. The first call, reported as five people stranded in some trees around 5:30 p.m. in the 34900 block of David Powell Rd., turned into an eight-person rescue.
