Think of it this way. If you came across a car that had run off the road and gotten stuck in the mud, and went and got a policeman that was busy with another situation, would his duty be to drop everything and go try to pull the car out of the mud? Of course not. He would call whatever wrecker service was on call that day and send them to the scene to render aid, at the motorist expense. Why would one expect any different from the Water Patrol? They are here for law enforcement, not to be good Samaritians and water wreckers. Although they act as good Samaritians in many instances, that type thing is over and above their duty.

Since you mentioned no injuries I can only assume there were none. That would be a different situation, which I am certain would have gotten a different response.
