Specialist paramedics and other emergency workers came to the rescue of a person on a boat on Ripon Canal last night.

Firefighters from Ripon were summoned to Boroughbridge Road, which runs alongside the canal basin, at 12.23am.

They were responding to a request from paramedics to help move a patient from a boat, according to North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service.

Its incident report said:

"Crews assisted to move the casualty into a seated position to allow paramedics to carry out an assessment."


The report added firefighters then liaised with paramedics and staff from Yorkshire Ambulance Service's hazardous area response team, which provides emergency treatment in precarious rescue operations.

The report said:

"Crews then assisted the casualty from the boat to the pontoon and left them in the care of ambulance crews."


No further details have been released.

The canal held an open day yesterday to celebrate its 250th anniversary.
