All four were wearing life jackets,

Ottawa Firefighters fished a few paddlers out of Dow's Lake Thursday afternoon.

Fire crews were alerted around 4:30 p.m. by Ottawa Police about people in the water.

When they arrived at the scene, firefighters confirmed four people had flipped their canoe and were trying to swim to shore.

All were wearing life jackets, and made it out of the water safely, but fire officials said the quartet was suffering from hypothermia due to the chilly water.

Ottawa Paramedics responded to the scene to treat the patients.
