Default Some Pictures From A Search And Rescue I Was In...

As some of you know I am a local Fire Fighter... We had a Search and Rescue call for a boater that fell off his boat late Monday night. Searched until about 2AM went home for a few hours of sleep and then went at it again until e found him. My boat is the one in the Video were we are leaning over the rear... and also the one where the people and the Search and Rescue dog are on the front. The news refers to us as neighbor's but that was me and other firefighters on board...

Drownings are the worst... I don't know why but they freak me out... I was just happy we found the guy for the family... I grew up around the area and while i did not know the guy I knew his Brother.
