SEDGWICK COUNTY — Fire fighters in Wichita made a dramatic water rescue over the weekend.

Just before 10: 30 a.m.  Sunday, crews responded to a submersion call in the river at 21st and West Street in Wichita, according Fire Marshal Stuart Bevis.

First arriving units encountered a mother and her small child in a kayak in the river, hanging onto the bridge pillar just above the dangerous low head dam.

Coordinated efforts of all crews on scene, including Special Operations, led to the rescue of the mother, child and a small dog from the river. There were no injuries, according to Bevis.

He reminded the public that activities near low head dams are very dangerous and citizens are reminded to be wary of these hazards.
