Spokane Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer said man fell from the area near the southeast corner of Monroe Street and Spokane Falls Boulevard. Schaeffer said the man was taken to Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in critical condition. “The man was never in the river, but found about two-thirds down the slope,” Schaeffer said.
