Officers Rescue Men After Boat Overturns

Klickitat County Sheriff’s and Columbia River Inter-tribal officers helped rescue three men early Sunday morning after their boat overturned on the Columbia River near the mouth of the Klickitat River.  In a post on the Sheriff’s Office Facebook page, Sheriff Bob Songer said 9-1-1 dispatchers received the call of the overturned boat shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday.  One deputy located the headlamps of the three tribal fishermen and was able to direct other officers on the County’s patrol boat to them.  The officers were able to pull the trio from the water, who were taken to be examined by emergency medical personnel, who cleared them with no injuries.  The three men that were rescued were all Klickitat County residents in their 30’s.
