Ten people, including a toddler, were rescued Sunday after their innertubes got caught in the Skykomish River near Monroe. Snohomish Regional Fire and Rescue responded to the boat launch on Ben Howard Road about 1:05 p.m. A 2-year-old child and nine other people were thrown into the river after their innertubes got caught in a strainer, which is a group of fallen trees or root balls that act as a water strainer in the river. The innertubes were all connected when they got stuck several miles upstream of the boat launch. "Tying these all together is extremely dangerous because if one goes bad, they all go bad. that's exactly what happened," said Peter Mongillo with Snohomish Regional Fire and Rescue. "I couldn't imagine being on a float like that with a 2-year-old and being thrown in the water and having to rescue myself and this kid. It's complete chaos."
