Three teens had to be rescued from a popular cliff-jumping spot in North Vancouver, Tuesday evening.

The boys called 911 after getting stuck on a ledge under a suspension bridge in Lynn Canyon.

“It is frustrating,” Fire Chief David Franco told CTV. 

Every year, firefighters are called to rescue people from the cliffs or the fast-moving waters of Lynn Creek. And almost as often, thrill-seeking youths lose their lives.

Franco urges swimmers to stay out of the canyon, especially when water levels are as high.

Earlier this year, a teenager drowned after leaping from the cliffs and getting swept away.
