Washington County Sheriff’s deputy performs a heroic act

<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/12/27/utah-sheriff-s-deputy-rescues-boy-from-icy-water-officials-say.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Source</a>

On Monday evening an eight year old boy was chasing his pet dog in New Harmony Utah in a frozen pond when he the child fell into the icy water.

Thanks to the quick thinking of a neighbor who saw the incident when the boy named Jason fell into the icy water, the neighbor called the Washington County Sheriff’s Office to report the incident.

As soon as the police were called, Washington County Sheriff Sergeant Aaron Thompson arrived at the scene of the incident about 30 minutes later.

Sergeant Thompson then went to the frozen pond and he started his rescue mission by using whatever means he had in his disposal to break the ice in the pond by jumping and punching the icy waters so he could dive in and rescue the eight year old boy who was underneath the icy pond.

Thompson was able to rescue the eight year old boy who was drifting in the icy pond a few minutes later. The eight year old boy was taken to a local hospital where he is expected to survive due to the time he was in the icy pond, his young age and the fact that the icy pond temperature was warm enough to keep him alive.

I am sure the eight year old boy will think twice before running into an icy pond since he was lucky on Christmas night that Sergeant Thompson played the role of his guardian angel.

Nevertheless it is being called The Miracle Of Christmas in Utah.

  1. I think this sort of thing happens all the time and goes unremarked while the tragedies are over reported. It is nice to see someone focusing on the positive for a change…
