Niagara River Rescue Family Builds a Legacy of Survival
Wesley Hill and his family are renowned for Niagara River rescues dating to 1942. The Hills and their ancestors have recovered about 500 bodies, with Wesley and brothers aiding almost 300 more, including dramatic raft and winter rescues. The family warns that river danger has risen with hydro plants, yet the rescue tradition continues through multiple generations.
