Rescue crews were called to the Green River near Soggy Bottoms Campground Saturday after fast?moving water swept a group of boaters off their tubes and rafts. One person was briefly reported missing but was later found, and no injuries were reported.

Officials say at least 40 responders from multiple agencies assisted. Casey County Rescue Squad member Brandon Long says no one in the group was wearing a life jacket and debris in the water made conditions dangerous.

Long says confusion over how many people were missing slowed the response because no one stayed at the campground to give information. He called the incident a teachable moment and urged people to know river conditions, wear life jackets, and tell someone their route before floating.

The rescue happened as Casey County remains under a water shortage emergency, but officials warn that pop?up storms can still cause the river to rise quickly.
