RedactedNarrative: On May 28th, 2017 at 2101, Rangers were dispatched to 700 W. Monument Ave., in the City of Dayton, at the lower kayak river run, on the report of a male stuck on an island in the river. Upon rangers arrival, the Dayton Fire Department (DFD) had already begun to deploy their rescue equipment into the water.  The male was stranded on one of the bridge support just downstream of the kayak river run feature.
  
  DFD retrieved the male and brought him to shore.  The male was identified and stated he and his friend began kayaking near Eastwood Metro Park and were taking the river south.  1st victim lost control of his Kayak in the river run by the Monument Ave. Bridge and fell into the water after the kayak overturned.  According to the 1st victim, the current took his life jacket downstream and he clung to one of the concrete bridge supports until his friend got to shore and notified emergency services. Fire crews did say that they observed a life jacket traveling downstream upon their arrival.
  
  The owner of the kayak that victim 1 was paddling provided the boat registration. The kayak was described as a 10 foot blue and white Pelican Trail Blazer. The Kayak was not recovered from the scene.
