Carson City Fire Department and rescue teams plucked a man and a woman from a log in the middle of the Carson River at Riverview Park in Carson City this afternoon.
The pair had apparently become stuck when their raft hit barbed wire, according to fire personnel on the scene. A second raft with a family of three, including a small child, capsized as it attempted to rescue the two in the water, said Carson City Assistant Fire Chief Tom Tarulli. The mother and child swam to shore and a man was rescued further down the shore, Tarulli said.
