River rescue call near Spadina Cres. & Ravine Dr.

The Saskatoon Fire Department (SFD) responded at 11:50 a.m. to a report of a person and dog in the river.

SFD launched two boats from the 33rd Street boat launch. They went to the individual’s last reported known location on the east side of the riverbank adjacent Spadina Crescent and Ravine Drive.

The fire crews conducted both a riverbank and water search and also began dive operations from the point the person was last seen.

Drone supports from the Saskatoon Police Service and Corman Park Police service also assisted to expand the search area from the air.

A fire department diver conducted rescue operations for approximately 60 minutes but was unable to locate the individual.

Another dive team will continue the search switching to sonar scan operations.

Initial reports indicated a dog was also in the water and self-rescued. However, further conversations with the fire rescue crews and police reveal that so far, no dog has been located.

More information will be released if it becomes available.
