Fire crews have rescued a teenager from the River Trent in Stoke Bardolph.
Crews from Carlton, London Road, Newark and Highfields attended the incident.
The rescue took place on Stoke Lane near the Ferry Boat pub this afternoon at 3pm.
A 14-year old is now in the care of East Midlands Ambulance Service following the rescue.
Station Manager Jonathan Wilson said: “Firefighters entered the water and used throw lines, forming a circle to stop the teenager from being swept away into the fast-moving water of the River Trent.
“This incident is a reminder of the dangers of open water. “Even if the water is shallow or looks inviting in the warm weather, this can easily overpower even the most confident swimmers.
He added: “If you see someone struggling in water, we ask you not to enter the water. Encourage the casualty to float and call 999.”
