The woman had broken her arm and had to be rescued by firefighters
A spokesman said: “The caller stated she had a broken arm and was unable to get out of the water.
“Fire control operator remained on the line reassuring the caller until fire crews arrived at the incident.“The female was rescued by fire crews and left in care of the ambulance, her dog was also rescued using a two-line rescue system.” Across Yorkshire and the Humber firefighters were called to 124 water rescue incidents last year and 23 ended with fatalities.
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said that if anyone falls into open water, they should float on their back, control their breathing and call for help, if they cannot swim to safety. It said cold-water shock, strong currents and other hidden dangers can cause even the strongest swimmers to drown.
