Around 2pm, the firefighters intervened to rescue two boys in difficulty in the waters of the Brenta river, in Fontaniva, in the province of Padua.
The fire brigade team from the Cittadella detachment, a SAF (Alpine Fluvial Speleo) team from Padua, and the Venice helicopter with divers on board were deployed on site.
The two young people, in an attempt to cross the river, were overwhelmed by the current: one managed to reach the bank, while the other remained clinging to a trunk.
A diver, lowered from the Drago 149 helicopter, recovered the boy who remained on the trunk. The other boy, already on the bank, was picked up directly by the helicopter that landed on the river bank.
