They then had to cross the creek, which was flowing heavily, according to firefighters. They said this made the task a little difficult.

However, they placed a hand line across the creek to help move the injured person across the water.

Afterwards, firefighters helped other visitors across the water as well. MVFD said they also helped across “one very grateful dog.”
