Lake Dias rescue: 2/4/25

Feb. 4, 2025 on Lake Dias in DeLeon Springs: VSO and Volusia County Fire Rescue were called out to a boat spinning in circles. Responding units spotted a single unresponsive occupant on the boat and quickly came up with a plan to rescue him. The Marine Unit crew moved in close enough for VCFR Acting Division Chief and Technical Rescue Deputy Team Leader John Kyp to jump on board, stop the boat, and get the patient to shore for further treatment. He's expected to make a full recovery. Here's a recap from some of the crew: Citizen on Patrol Charlie McCrary, Senior Deputy Matt Seltzer, and Sgt. Brodie Hughes. The other two out on this crew were Capt. Anthony Shank and Acting Division Chief Kyp. Great job all!
