The fire service did not provide any information on the condition of the patient, only saying they were taken to hospital by EMS.
Based on a photo from the scene, the rescue took place on 5th Avenue, near the 1100 block of Broad Street.
CTV News has reached out to RFPS and the City of Regina for additional information.
