Second storm causes boats to sink

It is again through great luck that no-one was injured in a second storm to hit the canton, this time on Monday evening. Nevertheless, the strong winds caused two boats to sink and others to come adrift from their moorings, causing much work for the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the city of Zug, who were called out seven times.
 
One person was at risk stuck on a jetty, firemen having to force open a gate to bring him to safety. In addition to two boats sinking and two coming adrift, one boat had to have an oil barrier placed around it after oil leaked into the lake.
 
Fortunately, one call, suggesting someone was in peril on the lake, turned out to be a false alarm.
