Spokane Fire Department rescue crews went through what they called "likely the most technical and challenging event faced by the team this year" in providing life-saving measures for a victim of an apparent fall after he ended up in the river near the Post Street Bridge. Around 1 a.m. Thursday morning, a passerby near the bridge reported hearing a man screaming for help, and spotted him on the edge of the Spokane River about 80 feet below. SFD says the man was in a complicated location at the bottom of a sheer cliff between the upper falls and lower falls of the river. A technical rescue team arrived and used spotlights to locate the man, who had been in the river and was suffering from hypothermia and assumed trauma from a fall. Crews provided blankets and gear for warmth as they set up for a the rescue.
