(KAIR)--A successful water rescue Wednesday afternoon, with Atchison area crews called for possible assistance after a person was spotted in the Missouri River.
The person was ultimately rescued by Buchanan County area authorities at Contrary Creek, a tributary of the river.
Captain Lee Kipple, of the Atchison Fire Department, says his office was called to respond shortly before 2:00.
The agency placed the department's rescue boat on the river, and provided support near Rushville, Missouri, if needed.
KQ2-TV reports the man was camping near the river, when he was apparently pulled in while standing near the water.
Following the quick rescue, the man was transported to Mosaic Life Care, in Saint Joseph, for the treatment of unspecified injuries.
His name has not yet been made public.
