Great Falls Fire Rescue responded to two emergencies on the Missouri River on June 9.

The first was at 11:42 a.m. when a female jumped from the Warden Bridge, landed in the river and attempted to swim but “quickly tired,” according to GFFR.

GFFR used its rescue boat to reach the woman and help her out of the water. Responders brought her back to shore and she was transported to the hospital for medical evaluation.

The second incident occurred at 4:22 p.m. when a male went into the river, attempting to retrieve his remote-controlled boat.

Witnesses said the male struggled to swim, then went underwater and didn’t return to the surface.

GFFR, the Cascade County Sheriff’s Office, Cascade County Search and Rescue and Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks launched boats in an effort to locate the male.

The Great Falls Police Department launched their drone to provide an aerial vantage point, but when the male was located, he was pronounced dead at the scene, according to GFFR.

GFFR is encouraging the community to take proper safety precautions when recreating on or near the water this summer.

Here’s some water safety tips provided by the National Fire Protection Association.

GFFR also responded to a hazardous materials call on June 9.

Vaughn Volunteer Fire Department requested GFFR’s regional hazardous materials team for a house located at 2539 Vaughn Road with a strong smell of chlorine inside.

GFFR conducted air monitoring inside the home, where high chlorine levels were detected as well as in the home’s water tank.

GFFR consulted the Montana Civil Support Team and a scientist in California to determine the cause of the high chlorine levels.

The Cascade County Health Department was called to the scene, tested the water in the house and found the chlorine levels to be within the normal range.

Since the source of the chlorine could not be located, the house was turned over to the CCSO and VFD.

As of late Sunday night, the house was cordoned off and a hazardous materials clean-up company was to be contacted.

Officials determined that chlorine levels are contained in the house and that there is no risk to the public.
