Firefighters were called to the aid of a young teenage boy after he became stranded on an island in the middle of a park in Redfield.

 

The boy is believed to swam out to the island with a friend, but was unable to get back.

 

A triple extension ladder was used to bridge the gap across the water and a firefighter then walked across to the boy and led him back to safety.
