Brave Seven-Year-Old Boy Rescues Family After Scary Waterside Incident

 

In a heartwarming interview with news channel WJXT, Chase recounted the terrifying moment: “The current was so strong that my sister … and she let go. So, I let go of the boat and grabbed her, and then, I was stuck.”

Despite not having a life jacket himself, Chase bravely released the boat and tried to help his sister. Steven also jumped into the water in an attempt to rescue Abigail, but she continued to drift further away. Steven recalled, “I told them I loved him because I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. I tried to stick with both of them. I wore myself out. She drifted away from me.”

With tremendous courage and determination, Chase swam against the current for a whole hour, using a combination of doggie paddle and floating on his back to conserve energy. Finally, he reached dry land and promptly ran for help.

“I screamed for help at the top of my lungs and waved my arms, and sure enough, someone heard us,” Steven exclaimed. “Little man also made it to shore and got help, and that’s what saved our lives.”

Assistance arrived in the form of the Sheriff’s Office and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, who successfully rescued Steven and Abigail one hour later. They had drifted a mile away from their boat but emerged unharmed.

During a news conference, Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department spokesperson Eric Prosswimmer expressed relief and gratitude: “We had every resource we could have possibly had coming quickly, and we’re happy to say all three have been recovered, and all three are doing well. We couldn’t ask for a better outcome.”
