Search and Rescue teams from across the province worked together this weekend to respond to several calls. In the Stephenville area, two teens had to be rescued from a river where they were swimming following a rain storm. There was also a tragedy, when a man fishing near Random Island overturn his boat. Search and Rescue in Holyrood also responded to a call, after two tourists went missing.

The provincial coordinator for Search and Rescue says the high number of incidents comes as more and more people are on the water for summer recreation. They’re encouraging everyone to wear a personal flotation device.
