Arizona firefighters rescue 25 people during intense canyon flooding

Two Tucson Fire Department trucks responded to the Friday night flooding as the large group was trapped at the low water crossing in Bear Canyon.

The smoke eaters came to the aid of the Coronado National Forest and Pima County Search & Rescue to perform a ladder rescue.
