AREA/CITY: San Bernardino
DETAILS:
- On March 5th, 2025, at about 10:48 PM, San Bernardino PD, County Fire, and AMR responded to a swift water rescue in the drainage canal near East Mill Street, just East of South Allen Street.
- San Bernardino PD located the man, who was naked and was able to drop a rope on him to keep him from being carried away by the fast-moving water.
- San Bernardino County Fire arrived at the scene and lowered a ladder down to the victim.
- He climbed up the ladder to the top, where paramedics were waiting with blankets and the gurney to transport him to a local hospital.
