The stormy weather had descended over parts of British Columbia when she was carried along the creek. She was rescued, according to the report, and is now praising the firefighters for how fast they acted.
Her account puts a Metro Vancouver resident among those caught in the storm's path, and it puts the work of local fire crews at the centre of the outcome.
The report does not name the creek or the crews involved. Any statement from North Vancouver fire services or the district would add the official detail on the rescue.
