Firefighters rescued an unresponsive person Thursday from the Santa Ana River.
Units were dispatched around noon Thursday to a water rescue in the 2500 block of Harbor Boulevard, near the Costa Mesa Country Club, according to the Orange County Fire Authority.
However, the body was hoisted out by a rescue team in Fountain Valley, about two miles downriver from the location of the initial call, and turned over to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department, fire officials said.
The person was believed to be deceased at the scene, but a time and manner of death has not yet been determined. A description of the victim was not provided.
