'Several' water rescues at Vilano Beach, red rip current flag flying

The red rip current flag is flying.

Officials say there have been "several" water rescues at the St. Johns County Beaches on Sunday.

Between three to five water rescues have been performed, according to a spokesperson with St. Johns County Fire Rescue.

Only one of those rescues were significant. The call came in as a body washed up on shore and the man was taken to Flagler Hospital in critical condition, according to SJCFR.

It appears, however, that this was due to a medical event and not the rip currents.

All of the other beachgoers who were rescued from the water are doing well.

The surf and wind are not a concern right now so officials are not recommending beachgoers keep out of the water, but instead be careful because the rip current danger is present.
