Lt. Tom Rowe said, "The two kids were playing on the canal bank, playing with each other, they were brothers, and fortunately no children did go into the canal, but until we could find the children and verify that we were on the side of caution had divers in the canal searching."
The boys were warned to stay away from the canal. The water is swift and very cold. Police say the passersby did the right thing by calling 9-1-1.
