Vt ami courage on the part
f Mteaafearc of tlt fine dis
tant. VltWa 15 minutes after the
ell fur assistance went out
n the district's radio, nearly
20 members of the 26-man
district had arrived at the
lake and begun rescue opera
tions, .
They were augmented by
'. Jackson county sheriff's dep
; uties and the Central Point
. fire department.
This would not be such an
" outstanding teat if it wasn't
' for the fact that underwater
rescue operations are not a
- part of the fire district's nor-
mal duties.
' First Assistance
In fact, it was the first time
that the district had even as-
' listed in an underwater res-
help for his son after he had
fallen Into the lake.
Hadley had one of his sta
tion employees put in a call
for assistance and he and Jim
Scott, a former district as
sistants chief and employee at
the station, went to the lake
lo see what they could do.
Knowing only the approx
imate location where the boy
fell into the lake, Hadley had
cott hold one end of a rope
while he dove in the water
for nearly a half-hour in a
futile attempt to find the boy.
While Hadley was search
ing, men from the district and
other departments had arriv
ed and taken up the rescue at
tempt. A doctor was present,
and a reausitator was brought
from the Central Point fire
department.
Well-Ceerined Rescue
The men from the various
agencies appeared to carry
out a well-coordinated rescue
attempt with divers working
in shifts of two s.
At 8:10 p.m., more than
two hours after the boy had
fallen into the lake, Allan
Bishop, a district volunteer,
found the boy s body In more
than 20 feet of water.
It was not learned until
later that Bishop did not
know how to swim, yet he
trict's board of directors,
agree that although this was
the first underwater rescue
attempt- In which the dLJrict
has participated, there will
undoubtedly be more.
Hoover said there have
been six or eight new ponds
and lakes created within the
75 square mile boundaries of
the district this yep.r. This
brings the total number of
ponds and lakes of all sizes
in the district to about 35 or
40.
Consider Hegular0eralie
The district is giving strong
consideration to forming a
regular water rescue opera
tion so it will be ready to
meet future emergencies of
this sort when they occur, ac
cording to Hadley.
An opportunity to form
such an operation may al
ready have presented itself.
The Central Point Fire de
partment has some available
funds and has been consider
ing the purchase of a disaster
car to be equipped with such
Items as first aid equipment.
stretchers and skindiving
apparatus. Although it is still
tertatlve, the department has
asked the district if it would
share the cost of the disaster
car, and it would be used by

and one from the Central

The district has no regular
skindiving equipment, as has
the sheriff's office, and Its
divers used smoke masks
while under water. A smoke
mask which Is (food in smoke

for "a maximum of 18 minutes

' in the state to have a radio

use. Each of the district's 26
volunteers has a radio receiv-

ed into this frequency. The
. district's seven pieces of

at Central Point and their sta

the United States.
The physical, economic, and
social advantages of domicil
iary life will be noted and
explained by the panel.
Hadley said the district has
already decided to purchase
two additional masks which
can be used both in smoke
and under water. These would
permit rescuers to stay under
water for much longer per
iods of time than they can
with the regular smoke mask.
Among the volunteers in
the district are five men who
are skindivcrs and who could
become the nucleus of a wa
ter rescue team.
The district is to be com
mended for its efforts above
and beyond the call of duty at
Hoover lake, and should be
encouraged in its attempt to
create a regular emergency
rescue operation.
The Jackson county (Sher
iff's office, which has had
regular skindiving equipment
for two years ano has two
qualified sklndivers and three
more ready to qualify, is not
to be belittled, for they also
did a fine job at the lake last
Sunday.
