A Hato Hone St John spokesperson confirmed they responded to an “incident” on the Waimakariri River, reported about 4.40pm.
Two ambulances, one operations manager and a rapid response unit attended but were stood down by a rescue helicopter.
“We’re currently with two patients and are waiting for an update on their condition.”
