The Orange County Fire Authority (OCFA) rescued two people Dec. 28 in Santa Ana after they were swept away in a flood control channel following heavy rain in Southern California.
Authorities responded to a call about a person trapped in the flood channel at 4:53 p.m. near South Raitt Street and Edinger Avenue. When rescuers arrived, they searched the area and found a man and a woman, both adults, beneath a road, hanging onto a flood channel with heavy flowing water.
