Verde Valley first responders rescued three people and two dogs from the swollen Oak Creek in Cornville, Arizona, in the same area where a jeep was recently swept into the water.
“Verde Valley Crews with help from @sedonafire and @ccfmd rescued 3 adults, 1 child and 2 dogs from Oak Creek in Cornville this evening. Please remember the waters are still high and dangerous. We will have a full press release in the morning,” the Verde Valley Fire District wrote on Facebook on March 17, 2023.
According to Sedona Biz, the rescue unfolded at Mormon Crossing after authorities were told that four people were sitting on top of a vehicle that was in the water.
The site warned, "We have seen a tremendous amount of water in our rivers this week. Due to the snow melt the water are still very high and dangerous. Please use caution around the water and remind everyone not to cross flood water for your safety as well as the safety of the emergency responders."
