Riverfront Incidents

The nice weather made for a busy afternoon for first responders along the Riverfront. The Chattanooga FD responded to three incidents Sunday downtown. 

1. A jet ski hit a bass boat near Ross’s Landing. The passengers on the boat got the jet skier out of the water and brought him to shore. EMS transported him to the hospital with injuries. The boat passengers were not injured. TWRA is investigating. 
2. Someone decided to swim in the river. He was floating with the current and in danger of drowning. He was pulled out of the water by TWRA and is safe/uninjured.
3. A woman and child were stranded on Williams Island and calling for help.  

CFD Fireboat 10 picked them up and brought them to Ross’s Landing. They were not injured. They were paddle boarding and got tired, making their way to the island where they were rescued.
