Delaware County (OH) Fire Department Boat Capsizes During Search

A rescue crew ran into problems of its own while searching for a missing kayaker in Alum Creek.

Here's a look at scene. From our vantage point looks like four rescuers are in the water, 1 standing on top. Winds are strong here @wsyx6 pic.twitter.com/4jNcNFariN

One of the boats began taking on water and as crew members tried to get to shore, it proved too much and the boat began capsizing. The crew on board could be seen jumping into the water, then rolling the boat to climb on top of it.
