River Rescue; INC#0037; 12:33AM; 35 Pacoima Wash; http://bit.ly/2F8U1nc; Pacoima; A 21-year old male and an 18-year-old female were rescued from fast-moving water in Pacoima. The couple entered the Pacoima wash near Foothill Blvd and were swept miles down river at approximately 20 mph. One patient called 9-1-1 from in the water and spoke with dispatchers while moving down river. Both patients grasped onto the wall right before passing underneath Telfair Ave and were stationary when units arrived. LAFD quickly deployed their aerial ladder with a firefighter dangling from a harness off of the end of the ladder. Both patients were extricated from the river within 15 minutes of resources getting to the scene. Both patients were treated and transported to a local hospital with no significant injuries. Cause of entering the river is unknown.; FS 98; Batt 12; Valley Bureau; Council District 7; BC12 E298 E75 E98 H4 H6 RA39 RA98 T98; CH5; 14; Nicholas Prange
