EMERGENCY services were called to the River Wye after a rowing boat capsized.

Three fire crews from Ross-on-Wye – including a water first responder team – and one from Hereford were called to the river at Bridstow at around 10.15am last Wednesday.

Two men in their 50s self rescued and were out of the water when paramedics arrived. They did not require hospital treatment.

The rowing boat was retrieved by the water rescue team.
