A kayak, life jacket and ice chest floating on the Susquehanna River caused a two-hour search and rescue Saturday evening, but no one was in danger.

A Northumberland County 911 Center dispatcher reported that two kids were boating on the river near a Liverpool campsite when their boat capsized. They apparently left the boat in the water.

A man witnessed the items floating down the river, but didn't see anyone else.

Rescue units were called out at 7:23 p.m. to search the waters upstream, said the dispatcher, but no further evidence of a drowned person was found.

Fire Chief Ken Kipple of the Sunbury Fire Department was in charge of the investigation.

At 9 p.m., emergency responders were calling for a search helicopter.

State police at Stonington said Saturday they were not involved in any search and rescue.
