Crews arrived at approximately 6:50 a.m with rescue boats after EMS had limited access to the man who was in the floodwater along the 400 block of Cottage Lane, West Chester Borough Fire Department Public Information Officer Dave March told Daily Voice.

Crews were able to safely free the man without injury, March said.

The houses on Cottage Lane run along a river, which with heavy rain showers, can easily cause increased flooding.
