Emergency crews responded to the report of a stranded boat on Lake Red Rock around 9:00 Sunday evening. Two people and a dog were stranded for nearly two hours before they were able to flag down a nearby boat to request help. Chief Cal Wyman of Knoxville Fire & Rescue said the department deployed its rescue boat.

“We launched our boat from Elk Rock boat ramp and we got out there. Another boat had actually stopped. We were able to get them out and transferred onto our boat. We brought them to shore, they were checked out and cleared.”

No one was injured. Responding agencies included Knoxville Township Fire Department, Marion County Sheriff’s Office, and possibly other agencies.
