PHOTOS: City firefighters rescued a man from the base of the Great Falls in Paterson shortly after midnight Sunday.
The rescuers used a tethered raft to row their way to the 32-year-old man, who was sitting on on the rocky island near the hydroelectric plant off McBride Avenue at Overlook Park s Lower Pavillion, city Public Safety Director Jerry Speziale said.
He claimed he d jumped from the footbridge above the falls, but that s a drop of more than seven stories. There were no witnesses to confirm it, Speziale said. The city recently reinvested in rescue operations with the purchase of all new rescue rope and hardware, Fire Chief Brian McDermott said. This was quickly put to use on this night to save a life.
