Paddle boarder in distress rescued in Marquette

MARQUETTE, MI--   A paddle boarder had to be rescued from Lake Superior near Picnic Rocks in Marquette Wednesday. 

The City Fire Department was called out around 6 p.m. in response to a distress call.  Two lifeguards on a jet ski were deployed and stayed with the person until the Coast Guard arrived and brought the paddle boarder to shore. 

The Marquette Fire Department is reminding kayakers and paddle boarders to know their skill level and limitations before going out onto Lake Superior.
