Fire department rescues injured person from railcar

A little-known unit of Regina Fire and Protective Services rescued a person from a train Thursday evening.

In a tweet, the fire department said its Technical Rescue team was called to get an injured person out of a railcar.

The team performed what the department called a “careful extrication” to remove the person, who was taken by paramedics to hospital.

There wasn’t any word on the person’s injuries or their condition.
