This from Dieterich Herndobler:

I was in the area when the call went out for 2 people in the Fox River at State Street (Route 38) in downtown Geneva. So I decided to head down there. As I arrived and was walking up, Geneva Medic 252 was leaving the scene for the hospital with the first patient, which was approximately 20 minutes after the call. The second victim was not recovered until approximately 1820 hours. It was interesting to watch the tactics for a water rescue as I have never seen one. I didn’t have my camera with me, just my phone. Here are a few pictures, including Geneva’s newer engine 207.
