8/13/14 - Two people experienced how quickly a sailboat can capsize on a local lake this afternoon. Hamburg Township police and fire units responded, along with the Green Oak Township Fire Department after the incident was reported around 4pm. Hamburg Lake is a non-motorized lake totaling 88 acres and the two individuals on the sailboat were able to swim to shore safely before emergency responders arrived. Not everyone would have been so lucky though according to Hamburg Deputy Fire Chief and Training Officer Nick Miller. He tells WHMI individuals should always properly prepare and make sure to have life jackets on board. (JM)
