Three teenagers safely swam to shore in the chilly Harvey’s Lake

Three teenagers safely swam to shore in the chilly Harvey’s Lake on Friday after falling into the water while fishing from kayaks. A crew from CALEX Ambulance was dispatched to the public boat launch area after it was reported that three boys had gone into the water. En route, CALEX was told that all of the boys were out of the water, but one was unconscious. Preparing for a possible serious medical situation, CALEX Director Michael Wright asked the dispatcher to check on the availability of the DHART helicopter. Once on scene, the emergency crew determined the boys were OK, said Wright. They may have had the effects of mild hypothermia due to their exposure to the low water temperature.
