After the Auburn Police Department was able to geolocate them by pinging a cell phone of one of the teens, emergency personnel arrived at the scene, and used a rope to get all six of them to dry land.

The teens only sustained minor scratches, and none of them had injuries that required further medical attention, the fire department said. No one was transported to a hospital.
