Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, July 14, 2026 —
A woman was successfully rescued from Indian Creek near Kuna, Idaho, after her raft overturned, resulting in her becoming trapped and experiencing difficulty breathing in the water. The incident led to a swift water rescue operation.
Firefighter Trenton Hogan was instrumental in the rescue, employing a specific technique to bring the individual to safety. Hogan utilized a pendulum technique, a method often used in water rescues to maneuver a person or object towards shore or a rescuer.
The woman, whose identity has not been released, described her experience as harrowing. The raft flipping caused her to be submerged and struggle for air, highlighting the dangerous conditions that can arise during water activities, even in seemingly calm creeks.
The successful intervention by Firefighter Hogan underscores the importance of trained emergency responders and specialized rescue techniques. The pendulum technique, when executed by a skilled rescuer, can be effective in extracting individuals from challenging water environments where conventional methods may be less viable.
Further details regarding the timeline of the event or the specific conditions of Indian Creek at the time of the rescue were not immediately available. The outcome, however, resulted in the safe retrieval of the stranded woman.
