Water Rescue Response on West Milwaukee Street

Summary: Emergency services responded to a report of a possible water rescue at 1 West Milwaukee Street, with cross streets South Water Street and North River Street. Initial reports indicated a person may have been in the water, but later updates clarified the individual was out of the water, standing near a wall, and was just fishing. Despite this, responders remained on scene to ensure the individual did not require EMS care, as he was at times refusing to get out from under a bridge and standing on rocks. Units coordinated access from the Cobblestone Hotel area. The situation was monitored until it was confirmed there was no further risk.
