Springfield Township firefighters responded to a report of a “water rescue” in the Mill Creek early Wednesday.
A man was walking on Summit Road near Section Road about 3 a.m. when he became disoriented and fell down the hill into the Mill Creek, according to the Springfield Township Fire Department.
When fire crews arrived, they found him on the side of the Mill Creek but unable to get back up the hill. So they said they went down and helped him up.
The man was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center at his request for an evaluation, according to fire officials.
First responders cleared the scene by 4 a.m.

VIDEO: Rossford City Council is still deciding what will happen next with the city's fire department.
The formation of a special committee consisting of three council members, three firefighters and three community members was proposed at Monday's council meeting. If the ordinance to form it passes, the committee would meet weekly and there could be a decision on what happens to the fire department in July.
Longtime Rossford resident Diana Wolff supports the idea of a committee to study the options available to solve the fire department's staffing shortage:
Be standalone and hire 15 full-time firefighters;
Form a fire district with multiple neighboring communities;
Contract with a neighboring community, like Perrysburg Township.
