Emergency responders rescue stranded canoeists From Mike Keltner, Director Adair Co. Emergency Management Adair County E-911 has notified responders of two water-related calls on Memorial Day, both unrelated to storm damages but both due to recreational accidents in flood level waterways. The first was a rescue of two experienced canoeist on Green River who had put in at Liberty (Casey County) before Sunday night's rainfall. On Memorial Day, they capsized, forcing them to abandon their canoe approximately 5 miles upstream of Snake Creek Ramp. KY Fish and Wildlife was unable to reach the two with their larger boat and requested assistance to get into the trees and recover the individuals, who were cliffed out on a steep part of the river bank. Breeding FD Techinical Rescue Team deployed 2 watercraft and retrieved the individuals without incident or injury. The second was a call of 2 unoccupied kayaks swept away while trying to take out on Russell Creek (also impacted by flood waters). They thankfully reported this to avoid responder deployment for a possible drowning or missing person. If you encounter an unoccupied kayak on Russell Creek please mark the location if possible and contact Adair County E-911 at 270-384-6464. (Point last seen intentionally withheld).
