6-5-14 water danger

The Fond du lac Fire Chief says an incident on a swollen Fond du Lac creek this week could have been a terrible tragedy.  Three boys were swept down de Neveu creek Monday evening before they were able to  get out of the creek on their own before rescue personnel arrived.  Fond du Lac fire chief Pete O’Leary says it’s a reminder how dangerous streams and creeks can be following periods of heavy rain.  O’Leary says its not the depth,  but rather the force of the water that’s the danger.
