Fire crews Tuesday rescued two people along with two dogs from the swelling Los Angeles River in the Sepulveda Bain amid the storm.
The Los Angeles Fire Department sent its firefighters to Oxnard Street and Louise Avenue near a baseball field at around 10 a.m. and found one of the women with two dogs on a platform.
Crews conducted a “land-based” rescue without having to use a helicopter to rescue the woman, estimated to be 30 years old, and her two dogs out of the river.
The fire department said firefighters ended up locating another woman, 45, and rescued her as well. She was taken to a hospital in fair condition with mild cold exposure.
The 30-year-old victim with the dog declined to be taken to a hospital.
In the video from the scene, the dogs appeared to be OK.
