ST PAUL, Minn. — St. Paul firefighters rescued one individual from a cave off West Water Street, southwest of the Smith Avenue High Bridge on Tuesday afternoon.

Friends tell KARE 11 they were exploring the area prior to the rescue.
No injuries were reported.
"I was really worried, I was really scared for her, but I'm glad she's back up on the surface and that everyone's OK," the friend told KARE 11.
