Even though the water was only a few inches high, it was flowing quickly into the nearby creek. So, rescue crews strapped helmets and life jackets on each child and carefully guided them across.
“It was like flooding, then all like the firefighters came in, and carried us and walked with us to the side,” Girl Scout Sonja DeLuca.
Once they made it across, they walked down to Cadence Bike Shop, where their parents were waiting.
“Nervous. We are happy they are all communicating nicely and telling us everything and we felt good about who was in charge and happy to have them and get them home, and showered and dry,” Jana DeLuca, Sonja’s parent, said.
