Missing Boaters Found Safe
November 18, 2008
Four missing boaters on the Escambia River would found safe last night after a search by area fire departments.
Chief Donnie Wadkins of Pace Fire Rescue says the boaters left the Quintette Boat Ramp and headed up river. They hit a stump, and one boater fell out. He was uninjured, but the boaters lost their motor in the collision.
It took several hours to find the boaters, Wadkins said, leading to concerns of hypothermia in last night’s cold weather. None of the boaters were injured, he said.
Escambia County Fire-Rescue Assistant Chief Robbie Whitfield say the Cantonment State of Escambia Fire-Rescue was dispatched to the Quintette Road bridge area to assist with the search.
