DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Volusia County Beach Safety flew the red flag on Monday, the Dr. Martin Lurther King, Jr. holiday, red signalling rough surf.

"We had one water rescue where we pulled two victims to shore without incident," Beach Safety Senior Capt. Andrew Ethridge reported in an email to Headline Surfer. " "The beach was packed again due to the nice weather and the crowds kept Beach Safety personnel busy with various calls for service. There were no major incidents to report at this time."
