Last week, I received a phone call from Fire Chief Drew Calvo. His rescue team responded to a swimmer in distress over the weekend. They were having trouble getting the jet ski in the water. He called over to some teenagers that were on OB2. Without hesitation, they came to help him and his crew. He said that it could have been quite a problem without their help.

Drew, who once lived in OB2 was so proud of them. If anyone knows who these teenagers were please let the office know. 

It was amazing for them to help in anyway they could.
