A 56-year-old man is taken to an awaiting ambulance by Lacombe and Bentley firefighters, and Sylvan Lake paramedics after being rescued May 21, 2013, around 2 p.m. The man was on Gull Lake, east of Lacombe, when his boat capsized. According to Blackfalds RCMP Cpl. Phil Penny, the man was taken to Red Deer hospital suffering from hypothermia. Rescue workers had a difficult time at first locating the man because of the choppy waves but eventually found him not far from his boat. Lacombe is a small city about 124 km south of Edmonton.
