On March 2, 2020 at approximately 4:47 pm, The Saskatoon Fire Department received a call informing dispatchers of a male patient in distress in the Sutherland dog park on the river bank. One engine company, one rescue company and a battalion chief responded to the scene. Crews were met in the parking lot by the caller and directed to the area where the patient was located. Due to the location of the patient and the steep and slippery conditions, the crews had to set up a low angle technical rope rescue system to gain access to and safely remove the patient from the river bank. Once the patient was brought to level ground the fire department transferred the patient to Medavie services for further assessment and transport.

There were no injuries at this incident.
