FARGO (KFGO) - A close call at the downtown Fargo dam Saturday afternoon. A man walking on the rock riprap at the bottom of the dam fell into the Red River. The current in that area is treacherous but he was able to make it to shore.
Fire Department Battalion Chief Chris Rasmussen says a passerby put the man in a car to keep him warm until first responders got to the scene. He was treated on scene by FM Ambulance and then taken to the hospital to be checked for possible hypothermia.
His name and condition are not available.
