Ocean City Beach Patrol lifeguards are in the lifeguard stands and in the water every day by 10 a.m. But on Saturday, at 9:28 a.m., they had to kick it into high gear to make nine saves. A family of four, whose identities and hometown were not released by authorities, was walking along the jetty rocks at Ninth Street when they fell in. Five good Samaritans rushed to the jetty to try and help the parents and their two children, ages 9 and 12. Then, the rescuers needed to be saved, officials explained.
