Crews work to recover body from Grand River


GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The Grand Rapids Fire Department was called out Thursday afternoon to search the Grand River after a report of a man in the water.
The report came in around 4:20 p.m., authorities say. The search started near Fish Ladder Park and extended downstream to near DeVos Place.
GRFD Lt. Bill Smith confirmed to News 8 that the effort was being treated as a recovery operation, not a rescue.
Smith said the Kent County dive team was called to the scene, but the water was too rough for them to go in.
