(KAIR)--A sinking boat left several people trapped on an area lake; but the efforts of local authorities lead to a successful water rescue.

According to a social media post by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism, game wardens were dispatched to Perry Lake shortly after 3:00 Thursday morning.

The call for help came after the boat began to experience mechanical problems and take on water, with the owner swimming to shore, with the assistance of a personal flotation device, and notifying authorities.

The game warden, accompanied by two deputies from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office, arrived on the scene and located a man, woman, and child in the boat, which was tethered to a submerged tree.

The warden and deputies successfully rescued the group and returned the boat to shore.

No injuries were reported.
