A safety message has been issued after a man and a woman were rescued from the River Severn in Bridgnorth.
It is believed that they had got too close to the edge and had slipped in on Saturday July 13, at about 6.40pm and could not get back out under their own steam.A spokesperson for Shropshire Fire & Rescue Service said thankfully both the man and woman were not injured during the incident.
Firefighter Ashley Brown said:"We believe the pair had gotten too close to the edge and slipped into the water. It was wet and muddy, so the riverbank was particularly dangerous. "If you're spending any time by the water, please make sure you are not getting too close to the edge. The riverbank can be like a cliff side and extremely difficult to climb back up.
"If you do fall in remember to float to live, lean back, extend your arms and legs, tilt your head back with ears submerged, relax and move your hands to help you stay afloat."There may be a throwline nearby and you can follow the instructions on the board attached to throw this out to them."
