Sheriff Christopher Bourke reports that on April 26th at approximately 8:49 a.m., the Orleans County 911 Center received a report of a vessel in distress off the shore of Point Breeze. The caller stated that a boat was observed shooting flares and appeared to be in distress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputies and members of the Orleans County Sheriff’s Marine Patrol were immediately dispatched to the area to assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding deputies located the vessel just west of Point Breeze. Sheriff\u2019s personnel were able to make contact with the two male occupants and secure them safely. No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vessel was towed back to the Point Breeze boat launch by the Sheriff’s Marine Patrol Unit. Patrols assisted the occupants with the removal of the vessel out of the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Orleans County Sheriff’s Office reminds all boaters to prioritize safety while on the water. The Sheriff\u2019s Office offers free safety inspections for all vessels to ensure compliance with state and federal regulations. Boaters are encouraged to take advantage of this service and to always carry appropriate safety equipment, including flares, life jackets, and communication devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Orleans County Sheriff\u2019s Office Chief Deputy, James DeFilipps, Lt. S. Fox, Sgt. J. Ashbery and Deputy J. Barnum were assisted by NYS Encon Police on this incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
