A dive team assisted to help rescued someone's daughter from Lake Charleston Tuesday evening. Lincoln Fire Protection District Chief Frederick Reynolds said dispatchers received a call at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday from a person in a kayak. She said her kayak had capsized and her daughter fell into the lake. The Lincoln Fire Dive Team, Lincoln Fire Protection District, Charleston Fire Department and Charleston Police Department responded to the scene. Companies found the mother holding on to the kayak less than 50 feet from the northeast bank. The daughter was floating alone about 218 yards deeper into the lake. The victim was wearing a life jacket, responders said. Charleston firefighters assisted the mother out of the lake. The Lincoln Fire Dive Team launched a dive boat and rescued the daughter from the lake.
