Sheffield Lake firefighters rescue 2 people after boat capsizes

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

It happened just after 8:30

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

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