Firefighters Rescue Kayaker – level 1

04-05-2018 07:00

In North Carolina, a kayaker is in a river. Suddenly, the water pushes him into logs. The logs push him into debris. He is trapped.

Firefighters come to help him. They use a large ladder and a boat to get to him. The rescue takes about two hours.

People send the man to hospital. Officials tell people not to go into the river. It is dangerous.

Difficult words: kayaker (a person who goes out in the water in a small boat called a kayak), log (a long piece of wood), debris (pieces of things), trapped (not able to move, stuck).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
