Small water rescue offers big lesson

The Gibraltar Fire and Rescue Department barely got their boat in the water before two people were able to get out of a tough spot near Fish Creek Beach. Just before 5 p.m. Monday a piece of a dock being installed by two men started to float away, causing one of them to go after it. The other man was forced to go out and grab him as he started to float away due to high winds. It eventually had a positive ending, but Gibraltar Fire and Rescue Chief Andy Bertges says it could have gone the other way quickly.

Members of the United States Coast Guard, Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Door County Sheriff’s Department, Door County Emergency Services and Gibraltar Police Department also responded to the incident.
