Hero Dad Rescues Three Children From Capsized Boat
7 Jul
Summary
- A father bravely dove into the water to save three children.
- He performed CPR on two unresponsive children, helping them breathe.
- The rescues occurred on the Fourth of July at Alvarado Park Lake.
During a Fourth of July outing at Alvarado Park Lake, Jason Horne's quick thinking and bravery saved three children.
Upon witnessing an overturned pontoon boat, Horne immediately dove into the water to search for victims. He successfully pulled two young children from beneath the capsized vessel. Both children were initially unconscious and not breathing, prompting Horne to perform CPR until they regained responsiveness.
Horne's heroism didn't end there. Learning a third child was still missing, he dove back in and, with assistance from another boater, located and rescued the boy. This third child was also unresponsive, and Horne administered CPR until the child began breathing. The off-duty firefighter's selfless actions ensured all three children were saved.
