Three children and one adult were pulled to safety after their boat got stranded on Tampa Bay.
 
According to officials, the four were fishing near the Courtney Campbell Causeway boat ramp when quick moving storms approached and high winds pushed their non-motorized boat into the mangroves.
 
A Tampa Police boat responded to help Tampa Fire Rescue crews get the family out of the water.
 
A short time later, Tampa Fire Rescue tweeted that everyone was back on land and safe.
