'I could have died' | Woman rescued from cliff shares story of survival
Maxime Rancourt was saved by the San Francisco Fire Department Coastal Rescue Unit after being caught by a strong current at Kelly's Cove, with rescue footage viewed over one million times.
- Last week, the San Francisco Fire Department Coastal Rescue Unit rescued Maxime Rancourt from an oceanside cliff at Kelly's Cove after powerful currents pulled her from the beach into deeper water.
- Rancourt had decided to take a cold plunge in the 56 degrees Fahrenheit water when conditions shifted, dragging her almost 50 meters away from the shore and leaving her clinging to a rock.
- Stranded around 70ft below the cliff's edge for 30 minutes, Rancourt was spotted by a passerby who called 911, prompting the San Francisco Fire Department to deploy a rappelling rescue team.
- "Thank you for saving my life," Rancourt said after the rescue, which was captured in a video viewed more than a million times as she embraced her rescuer.
- Harry Higgins of the San Francisco Fire Department described Kelly's Cove as a "turbulent area," noting: "You look at here, you see these three rocks." Reports state that around 32 people require rescue annually from the location.
