Cedar Rapids Firefighters End Rescue Mission Near Old River Road
At 2 a.m. Captain Dan Dall led a Cedar Rapids Fire Department boat crew toward a Cedar River rescue on Old River Road. The water proved too swift and dangerous, forcing a return to shore as officers and crew members avoided trees and powerful currents. Dall concluded there was no safe option to proceed and that those in danger could reach higher ground on their own.
