Three fishermen were rescued after their boat capsized off the coast of Hyannisport late Monday night. A call was made around 10 p.m., and a Good Samaritan helped pull the men from the water. They were taken to a ramp near Cape Cod Hospital with minor hypothermia but refused further treatment. The incident was reported to the Coast Guard, and the fire department noted that the men were not wearing personal flotation devices, highlighting the need for safety on the water.
According to Hyannis Fire Capt. David Webb, without the prompt rescue from a Good Samaritan, the fishermen could have faced much graver conditions in the water.
Webb also emphasized the need for safety, reminding everyone on the water that wearing a personal flotation device is crucial to prevent similar incidents.
