The Altadena Sheriff's Station is reporting that there is a rescue currently underway before 9 PM) in Eaton Canyon.
Rescuers from the Altadena Mountain Rescue Team, assisted by Sierra Madre Search & Rescue, made voice contact with a mother and son stranded in the dark near the first waterfall of Eaton Canyon. According to the station, search and rescue deputies reached the victims around 8:15 PM -- they are not injured, but the rescue team is determining if it is safe to perform a technical rescue or spend the night and helicopter everyone out in the morning. The predicted onset of rain probably won't help anything.
