Men Rescued from Reservoir
An off-duty Cattaraugus County Sheriff's Deputy and his son rescued two fishermen whose boat capsized in the Kinzua reservoir at the state line Friday evening.
Brian Mohr and his son were returning to their camp on the banks of the reservoir when they heard the men calling for help several hundred feet from shore.
Mohr and his son went into the water and pulled one of the men to shore. The Salamanca City Fire Department Water Rescue Team got the second man out of the water.
46-year-old Francis Parry of Spencer, New York, and 52-year-old Arthur Jacobson of Salamanca were taken to Bradford Regional Medical Center, where they were treated and released.
The Cold Spring, Seneca Nation, Salamanca and Bradford fire departments all responded to the scene.
