It's a drone to the rescue!

A 12-year-old and 18-year-old were stranded on a rock surrounded by rapids after a tubing accident, and a drone ending up saving the day!

With just one life vest between the two boys, Mechanic Falls firefighters used the DJI Phantom 3, operated by the fire chief to get another vest to the kids.

Check out an interview with Frank Roma, the fire chief of the Auburn Fire Department and raw footage of the rescue itself.
