Hazardous sea conditions nearly cost two people their lives over the weekend and took two others. The Guam Fire Department is advising the community to practice water safety and pay attention to advisories that have been issued by the National Weather Service. Sunday afternoon at about 1:50 p.m., the Guam Fire Department responded to a 911 call from Abby Crain and off duty firefighter Jerred Wells about two distressed female swimmers that were 200 yards offshore in between the Merizo Pier and Bile Bay. Eyewitnesses say the female swimmers were on a flotation device and got pulled out by the rough waters, but they managed to hold on to a nearby buoy. According to Acting GFD Spokeswoman Cherika Chargualaf, rescue units arrived on the scene quickly at about 1:59 p.m. and were able to save the swimmers and transfer them from their rescue jet skis to the U.S. Coast Guard’s boat less than an hour later. Chargualaf said GFD’s Rescue 3 was able to get the two on to their jet skis and then they were en route to the Merizo Pier when they got Coast Guard’s boat to assist them with the rest of the transport.
