Lifeguards with San Diego Fire Rescue were injured Friday night coming to the aid of a pair of people who had gone to the end of the jetty to check out the waves.
Lifeguard Lt. Rick Romero with San Diego Fire Rescue said a guard at the South Mission Tower saw a man and woman get washed off the rocks at the jetty around 6:30 p.m.
“They walked out there to hang out and watch the surf, and, obviously, the surf comes in and surprised them, and they got knocked off their feet and suffered injuries by getting hit by the rocks, getting slammed on the jetty,” Romero said…
