Many times someone drowns when they try to retrieve something drifting away. The best thing to do is to let it go. If you must retrieve it, please wear a life jacket because things can drift farther and faster than you may think and it’s not worth losing your life over.
Gresham Fire responded to a water rescue incident for the second day in a row at Oxbow Park. 3 patients were transported to the hospital via ambulance.
