Firefighters Rescue Kayaker – level 2

04-05-2018 07:00

In North Carolina, a kayaker was in a river when strong water pushed him and logs into debris. The man became trapped. Firefighters were able to reach him with a large ladder and a boat, and the rescue took about two hours.

Emergency services sent the man to hospital and told people not to go into the river. The water has grown and is dangerous from recent rain.

Difficult words: kayaker (a person who goes out in the water in a small, lightweight boat called a kayak), debris (pieces of destroyed things), trapped (not able to move, stuck).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
