Rescuing the Rescuers



Two Rock Island Firefighters in a small boat were pulled back to safety from the choppy waters around the Milan Steel Dam across the Rock River on Tuesday afternoon, September 23. The firefighters along with other emergency responders were searching for an unidentified 20 year old female last seen swimming near the dam who reportedly went under. Officials at the scene said they were switching from rescue operations to recovery, but the condition of the woman is still unknown.
