Dramatic Rescue: NJSP Saves Clifton Firefighters from Passaic River Peril

Freelance photographer Boyd A. Loving captured the dramatic rescue as two Clifton firefighters were rescued from the Passaic River by a New Jersey State Police helicopter after they went in to rescue a construction crew. The crew's boat got snagged at the top of the Dundee Dam, causing the Clifton boat to tip over the falls. One firefighter jumped out while two others rode the boat down. Additional rescue teams were called, and the construction workers and the firefighter who jumped were brought to safety. The State Police helicopter then rescued the two firefighters who went over the falls, and all were brought to ambulances at nearby Nash Park.
