Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) say two people will be fine after being rescued from a scary situation on Thursday.
Officers in Huron County received a call at around 1 p.m. Thursday from two people who found themselves stranded on a tractor in rising waters on the Maitland River near Fern Hurst Glen Lane in the Municipality of Central Huron.
OPP officers responded with Huron County EMS, the Goderich Fire Department, the Lambton Shores Fire Department, members of the West Region OPP Emergency Response Team, JRCC Trenton, and volunteers from Huron and Area Search and Rescue.
Rescuers used an inflatable boat to rescue the two people and bring them to shore.
The pair were checked out by paramedics, then treated and released from hospital.
"The OPP is reminding the public to be aware of the changing conditions in and around Huron County waterways and especially the Lake Huron shoreline as the vast amount of snow received this winter is expected to melt quickly in the next several days and weeks," said OPP Constable Craig Soldan.
