[!CDATA[Late one night, a group of teenagers found themselves in a dangerous situation after climbing up massive rock formations in Washington. The Spokane Valley Fire Department received a call for help after one of the teens fell 20 feet and injured their leg at the Rocks of Sharon. Three other teens were stranded on a cliff about 75 feet up, prompting a rescue operation. Rescuers located the injured teen about 50 feet up on the rocks and worked to lower all four teens to safety. The operation took approximately an hour and a half to complete. The injured teen was then transported to a hospital for medical treatment, while the other teens were kept safe until their parents arrived. The Rocks of Sharon, located about 15 miles southeast of downtown Spokane, are known for hiking and rock climbing activities. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety precautions when engaging in outdoor activities, especially at night. It is crucial to be prepared and aware of the risks involved to prevent accidents and ensure a safe experience for all.]]
