On Thursday May 14, 2026 at approximately 11:00 pm, Point Edward Fire & Rescue received a call for assistance from the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) after they had received information in relation to an unknown vessel taking on water in the St. Clair River near Lake Huron. This generated a large scale response on both the Canadian and American sides of the St. Clair River.

Point Edward Fire & Rescue deployed land and marine assets in the area in support of the search being coordinated by JRCC. Our marine unit searched the St. Clair River in coordination with marine units from Sarnia Fire Rescue, Canadian Coast Guard, US Coast Guard, Port Huron Fire Department and Port Huron Police Department. A helicopter from US Coast Guard Air Station Detroit was also sent to search the area.

After an extended search of the area, responders did not locate anyone in the area requiring assistance or indications of persons/debris in the search area. Ultimately the search on the Canadian side was suspended by JRCC. If anyone has any information in relation to the origin of this distress call they are requested to contact the nearest coast guard station.

✔ In the spring, it’s important to have items like rain gear
and dry bags, while in the summer, add extra water and
sunscreen.
✔ Download the WeatherCAN app or monitor
weather.gc.ca for weather alerts.

outage (for example, refrigerated medication or medical
equipment) and have a backup plan.

law, in Ontario smoke and CO detectors are required on
every level of your home and near each sleeping area.
