MILWAUKEE --

A boy was rescued Sunday from a creek bed at Wilson Park in Milwaukee.

Firefighters said the boy was walking with his friends Sunday afternoon and dropped his sled into a creek.

They said the boy went after it, but couldn't get out because the slopes were too slippery.

A neighbor called 911 and firefighters used a ladder to get him out.

The boy was not injured.
