Two people were rescued Thursday afternoon after falling out of a canoe into Sedgeunkedunk Stream.
According to the Orrington Fire & Rescue Department, a call came in around 4:45 p.m. reporting that two people had fallen into the stream and were out of the water but cold.
When rescue crews arrived, they discovered the pair stranded on a small island in the stream. Additional help was requested, and rescue workers from Brewer and Holden responded with a boat and more personnel.
Brewer firefighters launched the rescue boat from the Bucks Country Store boat launch. Both individuals were brought safely into the boat by 5:22 p.m. and taken to a waiting ambulance, where they were evaluated and released.
