Four individuals experienced a brush with danger after their boat capsized in Suisun Slough, but thanks to the swift actions of the California Highway Patrol's Golden Gate Division Air Operations crew and multiple area first responders, they were rescued and suffered only mild hypothermia. According to the CHP Golden Gate Division Air Operations, the CHP Helicopter H-30 was deployed upon request by Fairfield/Suisun Fire to the rescue scene, where they found two of the individuals atop the overturned vessel, while the other two had swum to nearby islands.
The post detailed how CHP's crew managed to safely hoist all four victims to shore after landing and reconfiguring for hoist operations. Following the rescue, the Solano Sheriff's Office and the US Coast Guard were reported to have arrived on the scene, with two patients flown for medical attention by Medic Ambulance and Solano County EMS, and the remaining receiving treatment after transport by boat.
Simultaneously, the Suisun City Fire Department was working in tandem with their counterparts to ensure the safety of the boaters. They issued a reminder for the importance of wearing personal flotation devices through their own social media update, reinforcing the safety message echoed by CHP. According to their account, their teams, along with the Suisun FPD, Solano County Sheriff's Office, Suisun City PD, US Coast Guard, Medic Ambulance, and Fairfield FD, were all involved in the response. The Suisun City Marina served as the safe destination for the boaters after the rescue.
