Rope-system rescue extracts apparent bridge jumper from riverbank in Manchester
Fire and rescue personnel used a system of ropes to rescue a woman from the bank of the Piscataquog River after she had reportedly jumped from a West Manchester bridge Saturday morning, fire officials said in a news release. Fire Rescue and EMS responded to a call about 8:30 a.m. for a reported jumper at the the Nazaire Biron Bridge, according to the report. When they arrived, responders found a woman along the western bank of the river, conscious but in need of medical attention, officials said. Responders determined that the patient had jumped from the south side of the bridge, falling 70-80 feet to the river. Due to difficult access to the woman, rescuers used a technical rope system to get her up 150 feet of steep terrain from the riverbank to the roadway, according to the release. Fire department crews provided medical care during the operation, and the patient was taken to Elliot Hospital for further treatment. Officials requested Squad One, a community resource unit, so a mental health specialist would be on scene if needed. Authorities added that support is available for those experiencing emotional or mental health crises. If you or someone you know is in need, call or text NH Rapid Response 833-710-6477 or visit
