Two firefighters involved in a rescue effort in a New Jersey river became stranded themselves when their boat went over a waterfall, but a state police helicopter crew was eventually able to bring the pair to safety.
No injuries were reported in either of Wednesday's rescues in the Passaic River, authorities said.
