NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. - North Vancouver firefighters are retrieving a 20-year-old woman who fell in Lynn Canyon Park.
Assistant fire chief Mike Cairns says the woman fell about three metres from a ledge and injured her ankle in Lynn Creek.
Cairns says the area is steep, so firefighters have lowered a stretcher into the creek and hope to lift her out.
He says if that's too difficult, crews will place her on a float and push her down the waterway so she can be retrieved downstream.
Cairns estimates the rescue will be complete in about 30 minutes.
He says hundreds were in the park today and the woman appears to have been going for a swim with friends.
