Fire crews responded about 2 a.m. near the 100 block of North Old Rand Road and heard people calling for help in Lake Zurich, the Lake Zurich Fire Department said in a statement.

Two people were clinging to the side of an overturned rowboat, while another boater swam safely to shore, the department said.
