According to the Transylvania County Rescue Squad, crews responded around 4:45 p.m. to the base of Looking Glass Falls in Pisgah National Forest.
That’s where a child reportedly swam to the far side of the falls and within just a few minutes, the river rose with flash flooding from the rain earlier in that. Due to the swift and quickly rising water, the child was left stranded on the other side.
Transylvania County Emergency Medical Services, Brevard Fire Department, and the Transylvania County Sheriff’s Office also were part of the rescue.
The rescue squad sent two Swift Water Technicians to the base of the falls. Using a tether, they were able to reach the uninjured child and bring them back to safety.
