'Start of something special': Riders use garbage bag day to reflect on 2024
Nov 11, 2024
The locker room was full of optimism for the future of the organization on Sunday.
The Saskatoon Fire Department (SFD) got a request from the Saskatoon Police Service (SPS) to get someone out of the South Saskatchewan River near the Victoria Bridge on Saturday night.
The SFD received the call at 8:43 p.m. on Saturday night and dispatched a boat to help in the search.
Not long after sending out the boat, the SFD managed to spot two objects of interest at around 9:20 p.m., using a handheld Sonar. The equipment helps track soundwaves underwater to identify certain objects.
At 9:51 p.m., a person was found and paramedics started CPR.
The rescued individual would then be transferred to a nearby hospital.
The case and follow-up have since been transferred back to the SPS.
No other information has been provided on the condition of the rescued person.
