Sheriff: Woman Rescued From Lean-To In Chisago County

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A woman had to be rescued Monday night after being trapped under a lean-to north of the Twin Cities metro, according to the Chisago County Sheriff's Office.

Sheriff's deputies responded after a woman called 911 to say her lean-to had blown over, and she was pinned underneath. A lean-to is a structure added to an existing building with rafters leaning against another wall, and they are generally used as shelters.

The officer that arrived on scene had 10,000 hours of bobcat experience logged in a previous career. He was able to use it to lift the structure off the woman and save her.
