LACo O.L.S. and former "Recurrent" Lifeguard, Dylan Jones, also a recent graduate of paramedic school, participated in an off duty inside the impact zone surf rescue earlier this week in San Diego at the infamous Black's Beach. Way to go, Dylan ! Together with two other beach patrons, Dylan participated in reviving the victim and transporting him to arriving EMS for transport to the hospital.

"County Recurrent" first learned of this exciting and fortuitous surf rescue story from Chris Brewster's daily LifesavingNews email service. Many thanks again to Chris for his diligence in this effort.
After learning of this rescue, the "County Recurrent" editorial staff contacted LACo Assnt. Chief, Phil Topar, who responded as follows via email later this morning:
"Yes, we heard about this yesterday from the State Lifeguards and the San Diego Lifeguards. Dylan is one of our permanents who recently graduated from Paramedic school. He was a professional surfer before becoming an OLS for our Division. That surfer was very lucky that Dylan and a doctor were surfing that day – I guess it was meant to be, Phil. He will be up for a Medal of Valor for this act."

Three Cheers to Dylan, the doctor and the medical student for their quick action which saved this man's life !
Until next time.....
