Lakewood Fire Department Saves Another One!
Posted: Sun Apr 16, 2017 9:08 am
Around 4:30pm the Lakewood Fire Department received a phone call there was a man in the water off Maple Cliff Drive screaming for help.
Lakewood Fire arrived and found a man clinging to a paddle board about 800' out.
They got the LFD boat out went out and rescued the man, brought him back to the lagoon dock, then transported him to Metro.
A person watching the entire thing from the CYC Porch said, "I thought it was a drill. We have the best Fire Department!"
He also went on to say the person was out way to far to be on a paddle board, and should pay for the rescue.
From boat leaving dock to person in the ambulance was under 12 minutes!
Great work Lakewood Fire and Police Departments!
