A man had to be rescued by firefighters after his boat became trapped on a weir in Rickmansworth this afternoon.
Firefighters from Rickmansworth and Watford were called to Batchworth Lock to help a man whose boat had become trapped in fast-flowing water.
Two specially-equipped swimmers were sent into the canal to secure the man and the boat with ropes and pull them to safety.
