PLYMOUTH — Chief Neil Foley reports that the Plymouth Fire Department, in coordination with the Plymouth Police Department and Brewster Ambulance, responded swiftly Wednesday morning and pulled a man in distress from Long Pond.
On Wednesday, June 4, at approximately 6:38 a.m., the Plymouth Emergency Communications Center received multiple 911 calls reporting that a man had fallen off his kayak and was struggling in the water.
Plymouth Police were the first to arrive on scene and quickly launched boats to begin searching the area. Brewster Ambulance crews arrived shortly thereafter. Bystanders assisted by indicating the location where the man was last seen.
Officers located the unconscious man approximately 200 feet from shore. Shortly after, the Plymouth Fire Department arrived with a rescue boat, and firefighters joined the efforts on the water.
Plymouth Fire and Plymouth Police pulled the man into the boat, and firefighters immediately began administering lifesaving measures, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
The man regained a pulse and was transported by Brewster Ambulance to a local hospital. His current condition is unknown.
“We are incredibly grateful for the swift and coordinated efforts of our Plymouth Fire crews, Plymouth Police, and Brewster Ambulance this morning,” said Chief Foley. “Thanks to that collaboration, we were able to locate and assist the individual in distress and immediately begin lifesaving measures.”
