Chris saved 4 lives today!
A 50' fishing boat caught on fire. The Coast Guard was called out. When they got on scene they approached the vessel engulfed in flames. The searched for a few minutes for survivors and noticed a raft; then a head popped out of the raft...they were alive!
Chris was lowered down from the helicopter and swam against the current toward the raft. He then assisted each survivor into the basket that was lowered from the helicopter. Four lives saved today! And a hero is born! (Good Job Chris!)
Here's a few news articles from the local papers & PR from the USCG:
