A similar incident happened in Exeter last week, where a woman on a mobility scooter fell in the River Exe.
The woman had driven the scooter from the flood relief slipway and landed in around 12 inches of water.
Firefighters had to use a reach pole and water rescue equipment to get her out.
Her electric scooter also retrieved from water by fire crews from Danes Castle.
She was then taken to the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital by ambulance.
