The Dauphin Fire Department rescued two people stranded on a sand bar last night just after 7:30.

The RCMP Parkland Detachment requested the DFD to help with a water rescue on Dauphin Lake.

It was first reported that 4 people were stranded on a sand bar near the mouth of the Valley River on Dauphin Lake and couldn’t get to shore.

The DFD and RCMP attended Sifton Beach to launch the boats and were able to locate the stranded boaters.

There, it was determined there were only two people stranded, they weren’t hurt, and the DFD returned them and their boat to the shore.
