The rescue was documented in realtime on Twitter by one of their friends, Derek Roeher, who tweeted their heroic actions.

Derek tweeted that it took his friends about two minutes to swim to the foxes and bring them back to their truck. One fox tried to get away, according to Derek, “then realized it was too drained and had no better option!”
