Great job by the Pasco County Fire Rescue in Florida. You never know what you may respond to.
Pasco Fire Rescue responds to a child’s arm trapped in a pool skimmer pipe
DADE CITY Fla (August 29, 2018) – At approximately 3:00 PM Pasco County Fire Rescue 911 received a call of a child’s arm entrapped in a pool pipe in the 34000 Block of Sahalee Loop in Dade City.
When Firefighters arrived, they reported an adolescent male in the shallow end of a pool, with his arm stuck in a PVC skimmer pipe.
Firefighters on the scene set up command and started to remove the pool decking that was covering the pipe by using hammers and chisels. Command on scene called for assistance from Pasco County facilities for a jackhammer to free the boy's arm.
It took approximately an hour and fifteen minutes to dig under the pool deck, cut the PVC pipe the boy's arm was entrapped in, and free the boy. A section of the pipe remained on the boy's arm, and he was transported to a local hospital to have the pipe removed.
It was determined that the boy was playing in the pool, stuck his arm into the PVC skimmer pipe, and was unable to remove his arm from the pipe.

On August 18, 2018 in the early morning Pine Beach Police Department K-9 Officer Russell Okinsky and his family lost their home and everything in it as a result of a tragic fire. Everyone inside the residence was able to evacuate to safety. K-9 Keto was trapped in the basement along with Officer Okinsky's other dog, Lola. They were rescued shortly after the arrival of the Beachwood Vol. Fire Department, Pine Beach Volunteer Fire Company No.1, Manitou Park Volunteer Fire Company, Toms River Fire Company 2, and Toms River Fire Dept., Company #1. Thanks to their heroic actions, Keto and Lola were brought to safety where they could be treated on scene and transported by Beachwood Emergency Medical Services to GSVS Pet Hospital, where they remain, to recover from their smoke inhalation. We wish everyone a speedy recovery and hope the Officer is able to rebuild his home quickly.

Prayers to all involved.
We are very sad to hear of the news from the Office of the Mayor. Our prayers and condolences to all involved.
It is with the deepest regret that I must report the passing of the young boy who was involved in the swimming accident a little over a week ago at Crystal Springs Water Park, East Brunswick. I share the sentiments of the entire community in offering our prayers and condolences to the family as they enter this very difficult time.
Office of the Mayor
It's unfortunate we continue to see videos such as this. We are glad to hear the four officers and civilians will be okay. When you see flashing lights stopped on the roadway, slowdown and if safely able to, move over a lane.

Manchester Police
Four Manchester Township Police officers and another man sustained injuries after a driver struck a stopped vehicle during a motor vehicle stop on Route 37 Thursday night.
At approximately 11:13 p.m., Ptl. Gavin Reilly and members of the Manchester Township Police Department’s Narcotics Enforcement Team stopped a 1997, Ford Explorer on Route 37 eastbound near Northampton Boulevard in Toms River. At approximately 11:39 p.m., while officers were conducting their investigation, a Ford Expedition which was traveling eastbound struck the stopped Explorer. At the time of crash, officers had the driver of the Explorer outside of the vehicle and under arrest.
Several officers were outside of their cars near the Explorer at the time of the collision. The driver of the Expedition, 39-year-old, Christopher Zarro of Manchester, immediately stopped after the crash and got out of his vehicle. Zarro did not appear to be injured and refused medical treatment.
The collision injured four Manchester Township Police officers; Sgt. Richard Mazza, Ptl. Christian Nazario, Ptl. Gavin Reilly and Ptl. Peter Manco. Injuries to Mazza, Nazario, and Reilly were minor in nature and ranged from two injured knees and an injured elbow to an injured hand. All three officers did not require additional medical treatment at the scene. The fourth officer, Ptl. Manco, sustained injuries to both knees and lower legs and was transported to Community Medical Center in Toms River by Quality Medical Transport where he was treated and released. The man arrested during the initial motor vehicle stop sustained minor injuries to his back and legs but refused medical attention at the scene.
Zarro was arrested and charged with Driving While Intoxicated by the Toms River Police Department. The motor vehicle crash and DWI incident are being investigated by the Toms River Police Department’s Traffic Safety Unit. Also assisting with the crash were officers from the Toms River Police Department’s Patrol Division.
This incident comes just one day before Governor Phil Murphy officially dedicates a section of Interstate195 in honor of New Jersey State Police Trooper Marc K. Castellano, who in 2010, was killed in the line of duty when he was struck by a vehicle while on the shoulder of that highway.
We would like to remind drivers that it is the law (NJ Title 39:4-92.2) to slow down, and if safe, #MoveOver – away from police, fire crews, paramedics and tow truck drivers when they see flashing lights on the side of the road. Drivers are encouraged to visit www.moveoverlaw.com for more information.
I lived in the development where State Trooper Marc loved. That was the toughest week to witness what his family had to go through and I made a promise to be aware, so that if the car next to me needed to get over, they could. Glad this wasn’t more serious. Stay safe and thank you all for what you do each day.
