WCNC is reporting that Charlotte Fire firefighter Demario House saved a man from drowning during his vacation at Virginia Beach. House watched as his sons play in the water and noticed what appeared to be a person floating up and down with the current. House walked into the water to check on the victim. He had to get chest deep before he was able to reach the man and rotate him on his back. After he raced to the shore, House began chest compressions. A crowd of over 100 people watched him as he tried to save the man’s life. As he did more compressions, eventually, water started to come up. Shortly after, lifeguards provided the man with a valve mask to help him breathe before loading him into an ambulance.
