The first water rescue of August happened in Saskatoon Tuesday evening, after two people who weren’t wearing lifejackets had to be rescued from the South Saskatchewan River.
The two individuals, a man and a woman, were holding onto logs in an area downstream of the University Bridge.
One fire engine, one water rescue unit and one battalion chief were part of the rescue efforts.
The rescued adults were brought to shore with no injures.
They were turned over to the Saskatoon Police Service after being assessed by paramedics.
The Saskatoon Fire Department is encouraging all river users to wear life jackets.
This marks the 15th time this year the Fire Department has been called out for an incident on the river.
