On June 13th Engine Company 24 was dispatched to a report of possible drowning at Creekside Cabana Club on Yerba Buena Ave. At this neighborhood pool several kids were swimming when a life guard noticed a girl floating face down. The life guard immediately brought the girl out of the pool. A quick assessment determined that she was not breathing. The life guard initiated rescue breathing until the SJFD arrived on scene. Engine 24 arrived and discovered that the little girl had begun to breath on her own. 24's crew assumed patient care and provided ALS/BLS care. The little girl was taken to the hospital where she was later released and is in good health. She and her family visited station 24 and have expressed her thanks to the alert life guard at the pool. This event had a positive outcome because of the early intervention by the life guard and the care and treatment provided by Engine Company 24. Good Job!
