MEDICAL LAKE – A small boat with two fishermen aboard flipped in the lake near Waterfront Park on April 22, prompting a water rescue by officers from the Spokane County Sheriff's Office and Spokane County Fire District 3 (SCFD3).

According to Flock, the two men were not wearing life vests, although they had them under the boat's seats.
