Two people were rescued Saturday morning by firefighters from the Sheffield Lake Fire Department after crews responded to an overturned boat sinking about half a mile offshore.

It happened just after 8:30 a.m.

The department launched two jet skis, and firefighters found the boaters about 20 minutes later off the coast of Shell Cove Park.

Firefighters and a nearby fishing boat helped pull the two people from the water; both were uninjured, authorities said.

Last year, the Sheffield Lake Fire Department told News 5 that it handles so many water rescues it purchased jet skis to respond quickly to emergencies.
