At around 6:30 p.m., PFD updated that all four people had been rescued and that they had been wearing life jackets, which contributed to the success of the mission.
The Arkansas River has been flowing at high levels lately, recently prompting the city to close the Arkansas River Trail temporarily. Visitors are advised to use extreme caution in the area.
