It was all in a weekendâs work for emergency personnel.
At about 6 p.m. Saturday, Berlin Police received a call that a girl had fallen into the Androscoggin River near Smith Hydro Park on Glen Avenue.
Responding to the scene with police were Berlin Fire Department and Berlin Emergency Medical Services.
Rescue personnel had to scale the face of a 15-foot ledge to get to the teen, who had gotten caught in the current of the river but by the time rescuers could get to her she had gotten to the shore and was sitting on the river bank with other teens.
