麻豆精选 Fire Department鈥檚 rescue boat went out to one distress call and picked up a second.
鈥淭he rescue boat out at the Yacht Club was dispatched to a call of a boat with three people taking on water in the Lakestone area on Okanagan Lake and while they were going out there they were waved down by another boat,鈥� said deputy fire chief Lou Wilde, noting the call was made at around 8 p.m. July 27.
There were two passengers aboard and they were concerned because their engine had gone dead and they needed a tow.
The rescue crew asked them to hold on until they went to the site original call and said they鈥檇 be back.
They did a search of the area and learned that the boat had capsized, but the passengers aboard had tied the boat to a buoy and made a swim onto Tribal beach.
Then all together they went back to the other boat, which was rowing its way to shore in the McKinley beach area.
