Eight firefighters responded. Once they got there, it took 14 minutes using a water rescue tool to free him, officials said.
Sunday’s call for help was the second mud rescue call of the season, the department said. The first person was able to self-extricate. The brief hooligan fishing season — it ends at the end of May in saltwater, mid-June in freshwater — brings scores of fishermen to the area, the most popular place for Anchorage residents to find the small, oily fish often scooped up in dipnets. People park along the Seward Highway and fish on both sides of the road or make the short walk to the riverbank.
