Thankfully, all four people were pulled from the water and appear to have no major injuries.
A source said: “They are all okay now, responders managed to get everyone out okay.”
It is understood the couple entered the water after a disagreement, which led to two others jumping in to save them.
The incident comes following a “hectic day” for the city’s fire team as they tackled a huge gorse fire in the North Ring road area and also put out a blaze in UCC’s Kane building, where two people were taken to CUH with “non life-threatening injuries”.
