MARQUETTE, MI— Emergency response personnel were called to Presque Isle Park Saturday to rescue an individual from the side of a cliff.
The Marquette City Fire Department was dispatched just after 2 p.m. to 10 Peter White Drive. They found a person hanging onto the rocks about halfway down a cliff, unable to climb back up.
When secondary units arrived at the scene, officials decided to employ a rope rescue. Fire department personnel set up the lines while two of them donned harnesses.
A rescuer was lowered over the cliff edge and was able to attach a harness to the victim. A 4 to 1 raising system was secured onto the main line and both the victim and rescuer were raised to safety.
The victim was assessed by a UPHS-Marquette ambulance crew, but they were uninjured and refused any treatment.
The Marquette Police Department assisted at the scene.
