The La Crosse Fire Department is sharing details about a busy day experienced by first responders last week.
On Thursday at 4:19 p.m., crews were dispatched to Riverside Park with reports that someone had leapt into the Mississippi River. Rescuers quickly got into the water and located that person. Eighteen minutes after that call came in, another came in reporting someone was in distress in the water near the 7th Street Boat Landing. That person was also rescued.
