Emergency crews were dispatched Friday evening to a water rescue at the Bissell Bridge Boat Launch at Windsor Meadows State Park, but did not find any victims, officials said.

A man had called 911 to report that he saw a person in a boat who appeared to have fallen out, according to a spokesman from the Windsor Fire Department.

Rescuers searched along the Connecticut River and it was determined at the scene that there wasn't a missing boater at all.
