Golden Fire has received four calls for water rescues since July 1.
GOLDEN, Colo. — Inner tubes were flying down Clear Creek in Golden on Friday after the Jefferson County Sheriff and the city lifted restrictions on July 1. Tubers and swimmers had been prohibited from getting in the water since early June.
This week, the levels are lower and despite how it looks the current isn't as strong as it was before. "We absolutely want to stress the fact that this is not a lazy river. It can look deceiving," Jones said."A personal flotation device and a helmet is recommended." The latest happened just hours after Jones did an interview with 9NEWS about rescues. The Golden Fire Department said a 7-year-old boy needed help after he went under water. They said the boy was wearing floaties and they fell off. Someone nearby pulled was able to pull they boy out of the water and he wasn't injured.
