SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (WDTN) – Four people were rescued after a tubing adventure turned dangerous in Springfield, authorities say.
According to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office, crews were on the scene attempting to rescue people from the waters of Mad River near Eagle City Road.
Rescue crews used drones from Springfield and Bethel Township to perform reconnaissance of the scene and drop flotation devices to the victims below, according to the Enon-Mad River Township Fire and EMS Facebook.

Boats from German Township and Mad River Township were deployed upstream while Springfield personnel used throw ropes to reach the victims, three women and one man. The victims were removed to the boats and then drifted downstream, where they were brought to land. No one was injured in the incident
According to the post, high rains have caused rivers to flow faster than normal, and the victims were using inner tubes unsuitable for the state of the river. None of the victims were wearing proper personal flotation devices
