Fire crews in Sacramento County rescued a rafter who was swept downstream Monday afternoon in the Cosumnes River. The male rafter, who was not wearing a life jacket and was rafting with friends, became separated from his tire raft around 4:30 p.m. on the river near Rancho Murieta, Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District officials said in a social media post. Metro Fire and Folsom Fire Department crews responded, and a rescue swimmer safely returned the victim to shore, authorities said. He was reunited with family.
