FARMINGTON -- A woman who had been rafting down the rain-swollen Sandy River in Farmington Thursday afternoon was rescued by firefighters after her raft capsized and she was snared in a fallen tree.

The woman, who had been rafting with two friends, was not injured but was shaken up, said Farmington Fire Chief Terry Bell.


The other women were able to reach the other bank. They were not wearing life preservers.
