RALEIGH, N.C. (WRAL) – Raleigh emergency crews completed a water rescue of three children in Marsh Creek in Raleigh on Thursday, fire department officials confirmed.

The children were in the water off of Partridge Lane and Hunting Trail in Raleigh early Thursday afternoon. Crews were able to rescue them. According to Broadcastify radio traffic, a boat was used to save them.

“We were taking a bike ride through the forest and I think we got off out bikes and we discovered this (the creek),” one of the children told WRAL News. Two of the children crossed the creek safely, but the others weren’t able to and started to slide into the water.
