Four adults and three children, all of whom were uninjured, became stranded after their blow-up rafts and inner tubes began to leak, according to Mike Erfert with City of Yuma Fire Department.

The group, which included a toddler, were stranded in the East Wetlands about 2 miles east of the Ocean-to-Ocean Bridge.

In addition to YFD other responding agencies included Yuma County Sheriff's Office, Yuma Police Department, and the U.S. Border Patrol. The fire department's Swift Water Rescue Team was deployed.

YFD personal watercraft and a Border Patrol boat were used to bring the people to Gateway Park.

Erfert said it took rescuers about an hour to locate the group and get everyone to safety.
