Sarnia Fire Rescue says no evidence was found after a search for a person reported to have entered the water near the Bluewater Bridge on Wednesday evening.
Just before 6:45 p.m., Sarnia Fire Rescue was dispatched to a reported water rescue under the Bluewater Bridge. Marine 1, 2 and 3 immediately responded to assist, while Rescue 1 and Chief 4 responded by land.
Initial reports indicated a person had entered the water from the bridge. During a systematic search of the area, conflicting information was received indicating the person may have entered the water from the Canadian shoreline and exited shortly afterward.
After a thorough search by Sarnia Fire, the Ontario Provincial Police and Point Edward Fire, both by water and land, no physical evidence was located and no activity matching the reported incident was identified on border camera footage. The search was eventually called off.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the OPP Tip Line at 1-888-310-1122.
