Ottawa Fire Saves Paddleboarders in Rapids | Ottawa News
Description
Two paddleboarders got stuck in the treacherous Deschênes Rapids and were rescued by Ottawa Fire Services—sending teams upstream and downstream, even with specialists wading into the water. They made it back safely by 5:30 PM, a stark reminder that even calm weather can mask deadly river currents. The fire department warns this stretch is their most frequent rescue zone and urges everyone to know the risks before hitting the water—because safety isn’t just about fun, it’s about awareness.
