RUSSELLS POINT, OH (WLIO) - The firefighters of Russells Point gave kids a night to remember with the help of local law enforcement and Santa Claus. 

Officials said a helicopter from air station Detroit noticed a group of people on the floe near Ohio's Catawba Island at about 1 p.m. Sunday with several all-terrain vehicles seeking a route back to land. The helicopter lifted seven people from the floe. An airboat dispatched from the nearby Marblehead Station rescued four others. Officials said the other seven people were picked up and taken to shore by a good Samaritan who also had an airboat at the scene.
