The Fire Department described the challenging rescue on Facebook. Emergency crew began climbing at 8:50 AM and reached the victims at about 10 AM. Luckily, the balloon occupants were both conscious and uninjured.

Due to the "extreme height and complexity" highly trained rescuers used multiple rope systems to reach the stranded pair and rescue them from their predicament.

As per a Facebook update, the Longview community was thrilled, and a local restaurant, Pieto's Longview, treated the brave rescue team to a pizza and pasta meal.
