5:35pm–#Bridgeport CT– Just after receiving a call of a house fire on Soundview Avenue firefighters were called for an overturned boat with people in the water off Govers Avenue at Black Rock Harbor.  The fire boat and zodiac were launched and within a few moments the firefighters had the people rescued.  There were actually two overturned boats.  The one the people were onboard was already being towed by firefighters and was far off in the horizon even out of reach of my digital zoom.  Special thanks to Garth Trotto for monitoring this situation while I covered the fire at Soundview Avenue.
