A Flagler County Fire Rescue paramedic tows the two men, stranded in a john boat for over six hours, back to shore at Bing’s Landing Friday night. (FCSO) Two men who’d gone fishing Friday afternoon in a john boat spent seven hours stranded after the john boat’s engine died and they proved unable to summon a tow, finally resulting in a late night rescue by public safety agencies. At one point the efforts had involved the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, Flagler County Fire Rescue, Volusia County’s emergency helicopter and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
