An outstanding display of regional collaboration unfolded today during a swift water rescue on the Truckee River in Lockwood.

Two individuals became stranded on a rock after their canoe capsized, with heavy currents preventing them from reaching shore.

Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue, Sparks Fire Department, REMSA, Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District, and the Storey County Sheriff’s Office quickly coordinated a plan for a safe recovery. Rescue swimmers from Sparks Fire and WCSAR entered the river and brought both individuals to safety.

Both were evaluated and cleared by REMSA on scene.

This was a strong team effort by all agencies involved, working together to ensure a safe outcome.

As a reminder, rivers and waterways are especially dangerous this time of year. Snowmelt creates extremely cold temperatures and fast-moving currents. We encourage everyone to enjoy the outdoors while using caution around rivers and lakes.
