Rescue came just three days after a man drowned to death at Lynn Canyon
A B.C. fire department is urging people to play it safe after an intoxicated cliff jumper was rescued on Saturday from the same canyon where someone drowned just three days earlier.
Byrom said his team was called in just after 8 p.m. and helped transport the cliff jumper from the park and into an ambulance. He didn't sustain any serious injuries as far as Byrom is aware, but was put on a ventilator. Byrom said they're called out to Lynn Canyon frequently during the summer months, particularly when it's hot out and people are looking for water to cool off in. He said that drinking is an added risk, but that even without it people regularly injure themselves in the area.
