(HURON COUNTY, ON) -Two Central Huron residents are warming up after being rescued from their tractor near the Maitland River following a flash flood that left them stranded.
On March 6th, 2025, just before 1:00 p.m., the Huron County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received a distress call from two individuals who were stranded in rising waters near Fern Hurst Glen Lane in the Municipality of Central Huron.
The pair were on their tractor and suddenly found themselves surrounded by cold, fast-moving water that was rising rapidly. Huron OPP officers attended the scene with Huron County EMS, Goderich Fire Department, Lambton Shores Fire Department, members from the West Region OPP Emergency Response Team (ERT), JRCC Trenton, and volunteers from Huron and Area Search and Rescue (HASAR).
After determining the best route to access the stranded parties, an inflatable boat was utilized to retrieve the two safely and bring them back to solid ground and awaiting paramedics. The pair were treated at a local hospital as a precaution and are expected to make a full recovery.
The Huron County OPP would like to thank all their emergency response partners for the quick response and excellent teamwork demonstrated to bring this potentially life-threatening situation to a successful conclusion.
“The OPP is reminding the public to be aware of the changing conditions in and around Huron County waterways and especially the Lake Huron shoreline as the vast amount of snow received this winter is expected to melt quickly in the next several days and weeks.”, stated Constable Craig Soldan – Media Relations and Community Safety Officer with the Huron County OPP.
