At least one person and two dogs were rescued from the Los Angeles River as a storm pounded Southern California Friday morning.
Aerial video showed rescue workers trying to get to the male and two dogs on a tree at the base of the river. A boat was being used to get the victim and two dogs out.
The incident was reported in the Cypress Park area in the 1500 block of North San Fernando Road, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. One of the men told NBC4 he went into the water to save his dogs.
"The water is moving pretty quick, and it will fool you," said Los Angeles Fire Lt. Mark Akahosai
