The Sweet Home Fire and Ambulance District (SHFAD) was dispatched to the scene of two stranded kayakers on Saturday, June 22, at 12:01 p.m.
According to a press release, the kayaks flipped while the kayakers were traversing rapids beneath Green Peter Dam. Water was being released from Green Peter Dam at the time, which caused water levels to rapidly rise, thus increasing water flow and strengthening rapids.
