Two canoeists rescued from swollen Sheepscot River in Whitefield

KENNEBEC JOURNAL • April 5, 2020

Two canoeists were rescued Saturday from the swollen, fast-moving Sheepscot River when firefighters used a ladder truck to extend over the river to pluck the pair from a rock. Neither of the two men, whose identities were not available Sunday, was injured. In fact, Whitefield Fire Chief Scott Higgins said the men barely got wet.
