Just before 8pm Friday night Fairfield first responders received a call of a kayaker in distress about a mile off Penfield Beach.  One kayaker did come to the man’s aid but had trouble bringing him ashore.  Assistant Fire Chief George Gomola told us that his assistant Firefighter McDaniel, a former Coast Guard member was able to raise a small Coast Guard vessel on the radio, that happened to be working  in the area.  The two men appear to be in good condition after being in the water for over an hour, maybe slightly dehydrated.   They were taken ashore on board the Fairfield Police Boat.
