Several victims, adults and children, are recovering after falling into a ravine in Adair County.
Around 5:30pm Tuesday, Adair EM, EMS, Sheriffs Office, Breeding Fire-Technical Rescue, and Columbia & Adair Co. Fire Department  personnel were dispatched by Adair E911 to the area of Holmes Bend Campground.  2 young girls (approximately 8 years old) reported multiple children and adults had fallen into a deep ravine, were stuck, possibly in the water.  The girls led First Responders to the scene, off trail toward the lake.  

One of the adult women had made her way back to the top of the ravine. She reported there were three more people stuck on a cliff between two rock drop-offs. Thankfully all were in stable and relatively unharmed condition just unable to safely move along the cliffside.

Rope access was established for responders, who assisted the victims to safety.

Minor cuts and bruising were noted to all parties.
