Crews have rescued a group kayaking stranded on the Eau Claire River while kayaking near the town of Easton in Marathon County. A member of the South Are Fire District (SAFER) confirmed to a NewsChannel 7 crew on the scene that a rescue team with the Easton Fire Department was able to get the stranded boaters out of the water successfully. This after SAFER completed two rescue operations earlier Sunday afternoon, both on the Eau Claire River, west of Yellow Banks Park. No one was seriously injured. SAFER posted to Facebook warning those heading out on the water that conditions are dangerous.
