All three were evaluated by EMS and released.
"Three victims fell into the water," Fire Chief Ginny Cranor said during a regular city press conference Monday. "Within 12 minutes, they were on Pensacola Fire Boat One, so they are all OK and luckily had on floatation devices."
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will investigate if the boat can be recovered and if any pollution occurred.
