Today, Fire Chief Loyd Hutzel presented challenge coins to Eston Capella and Isaiah Mahone in recognition of their heroic actions at Lake Catherine this afternoon. When a friend jumped into the water and began to struggle, Eston and Isaiah acted quickly and selflessly to bring them safely back to shore.
Their courage and willingness to help in a time of need made a real difference. We are grateful for their unselfish actions and proud to recognize them for their outstanding efforts. Thank you, Eston and Isaiah, for stepping up when it mattered most.
LifeNet responded to the scene but the victim did not require transport.
