EDMONDS, Wash. — South County Fire & Rescue says fire crews rescued a kayaker who fell into the waters of Sunset Bay while kayaking.
The water was cold, and he wasn’t wearing a life jacket.
The kayaker paddled 100 yards offshore from Beach Camp in Edmonds, where he fell into the water.
A special suit and heat packs were used to keep him warm as fire crews rushed him back to shore.
The kayaker arrived at shore with no life-threatening injuries.
He was later taken to Swedish Hospital in Edmonds for further treatment.
Firefighters aboard Marine 16 rescued a man from the Puget Sound off Edmonds this afternoon. The man estimated he'd been in the water more than half an hour and was not wearing a life jacket.
