Water Rescue in the Village of Corinth

CORINTH — A Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office deputy and an off-duty Warren County Sheriff’s Office sergeant collaborated on a water rescue to help bring two people in distress in the river to safety.   

Saratoga County Deputy Milligan was patrolling in the village of Corinth at 5:42 p.m. June 28 when he was advised by a passerby that there were two people in the river who were in distress. As he made his way toward the river, Milligan observed two people beyond the safety wire, in obvious distress in the fast-moving current and heading toward the dam. 

Milligan made contact with off-duty Warren County Sheriff’s Office Sergeant Girard who was in the area. Both quickly entered the water and safely brought to shore both victims, who were evaluated at the scene by EMS and are reported to be in good health.
