    On Saturday evening, a woman who had jumped off the bridge into the east channel of the Fox River in Aurora was saved by the Aurora Fire Department Water Rescue Team.

    At approximately 8:44pm, AFD received a call for a person in the Fox River. Upon arrival, fire crews found the victim in the east channel, near the casino, yelling for help. Several bystanders in the area saw the woman jump off a bridge and called 911.

    Aurora Central dispatched a Water Rescue Response bringing the Water Rescue Team and 26 firefighters to the scene. Firefighters from the first arriving Engine Company deployed a firefighter and were able to rescue the victim.

    The victim was moved to a paramedic unit, treated, and transported to an area hospital in minor condition.

    The victim told firefighters that there was another person in the river. The river was searched, and the casino security cameras were checked. Bystanders in the area said they only saw the female, and the security footage only showed the female entering the river. The person to who the victim was referring was located and safe. They were not with her when she entered the water.
