Sassafras River Boat Accident

     

Thursday, July 5, 2012 On 7-5-2012 we were dispatched to assist Cecilton with a water rescue/boating accident in the Sassafras River near the Rt 213 bridge.  Utility 3 and Boat 3 responded within one minute and upon arrival at the ramp were advised to check the east side of the bridge.  Ambulance 3 was also later requested and staged at the ramp.  Boat 3 located one Jet Ski partially submerged, in tow by a private vessel.  All occupants were accounted for and no injuries were reported.  Boat 3 cleared in less than one hour.
