So, police got a 911 call tonight for a report that a woman had fallen through a porch at 98 School St., and was dangling, halfway through the porch, about 20 feet from the ground about 11:30 p.m., or so.

Police and firefighters sped to the scene, and Niels Christiansen and Jason McGrail got there to find the woman dangling a little closer to 8 or 10 feet from the ground, but possibly still high enough that just dropping would not have been good.

They held the woman up from below until firefighters arrived with a little ladder to get her down safely.

She had been standing on a sort of porch/fire escape, that had a big hole in it that's normally covered in plywood, but somehow the plywood got moved and she fell, through. This description isn't that great, so here's a picture of it. The bushes at the bottom of the pic are probably about 5 feet tall.

I can't really describe the porch-thing that well, so here is a picture of it.

She looked to be alright for the most part, though she was definitely a little freaked out and frazzled. Trinity was going to take her to a city hospital to get checked out.
