Firefighters rescue woman who fell off cliff

A woman was rescued late Friday the 13th by Eastlake Fire Department members after falling off the edge of a cliff on Lakeshore Boulevard.

According to Firefighter Ron Gardner:

The woman tumbled halfway down the cliff amid a lot of briar and brush shortly before 11 p.m. Oct. 13 across from the Eastlake Public Library.

After receiving a phone call for help, members of the Eastlake Technical Rescue team, including firefighters Paul Morehead and Josh Saperstein, set up ropes and hauled her back up in a rescue basket.

It was not immediately known how the woman got into the predicament.

She declined medical treatment.

Firefighters said the cliff was between 30 to 40 feet steep.
