CHICAGO — Firefighters rescued four people from a sinking boat Monday.

Firefighters responded to a sinking tug boat between 55th Street and 31st Street along the lakeshore, around 4:45 p.m. Monday, said Chief Joe Roccasalva, a fire department spokesman.

It took firefighters about 30 minutes to rescue the four people from the boat, which sunk in shallow water near 39th Street. None of the victims were hospitalized after the rescue, Roccasalva said.
