One person was rescued on the Telkwa River in Telkwa Wednesday afternoon.
Emergency crews were called to the river in the area of Coalmine Road and Alder Street shortly before 1:30 p.m.
A female wearing a life jacket and holding onto a paddle was standing on a rock in the middle of the river and had to be rescued by firefighters. A fishing boat was used to bring the woman back to shore.
Once on shore, she was wrapped in a blanket by a firefighter and appeared to have no visible injuries.
UPDATE:
Smithers RCMP said the paddler flipped her canoe and was sitting on the rock near the confluence with the Bulkey River. She was assessed by paramedics and medically cleared.
