Duck Hunters Rescued from Harbor
Three duck hunters were rescued after high waves swamped their boats at about Sunday morning in Barcelona Harbor.
The Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office says two of men were able to get to the outer breakwater, where they waited for rescuers. But a 16-year-old remained in a boat and could not get to the breakwater.
Chautauqua County Water Emergency Team members used a rubber raft to pick them up one at a time. All three were treated at the scene.
Deputies say high winds, rain and waves hampered the rescue effort. The Westfield Fire and Police departments also responded.
