MOORHEAD, MINN – Police and fire from both Fargo and Moorhead worked together to rescue a woman from the Red River on Sunday afternoon.
Fargo Fire Captain Ben Willey says a report was received at 3:21 p.m. that a female was in the Red River and needed assistance. Rescuers responded and collaborated to rescue the female.
Willey says the Moorhead Fire Department’s boat was used to rescue the woman to the Fargo side of the river. She was located on the Moorhead side, but the rescue took place in Fargo due to the riverbank being too steep to extricate the woman.
She was alert and oriented when rescued and taken to a local hospital with non-life- threatening injuries.
