A woman was rescued Thursday morning from a precarious perch 25 feet down the American River bluffs near Ravina Court in Fair Oaks.

Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District crews responded to the call about 10:30 a.m.

A firefighter rappelled down the bluff, secured the woman in a harness, then continued down 80 feet to the American River’s edge, according to a Metro Fire news release.

The woman, whose name was not released, was placed in a Metro Fire boat and taken to the south side of the river for medical attention.
