Hunters Rescued Near Elijah Run
Four hunters were rescued Monday night after being stranded on the Allegheny Reservoir near Elijah Run.
The names of the hunters have not been released, but they are from McKean in Erie County, and had been camping on the reservoir since Friday.
Terry Carlson, Chief of the Glade Volunteer Fire Department, says their canoe got overloaded when they put the deer they had shot into it. The pontoon supports broke, and they couldn't move the canoe.
The fire department was called out at about 5:30 and it took them and the Ludlow Volunteer Fire Department about an hour to get to the site and another hour to get the hunters out of the water.
