The San Francisco Fire Department (SFFD) promptly dispatched rescuers from a nearby station, who utilized a lifeboat to navigate to the woman. Despite the woman’s seemingly inappropriate attire, she was extracted from the water and evaluated by paramedics on the scene. Fortunately, she did not sustain any apparent injuries.
