LAUDERDALE-BY-THE-SEA, Fla. \u2014 The Broward Sheriff\u2019s Office has released new video showing the moments two off-duty first responders jumped into action to save a child\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred just after 4 p.m. on May 24 at the Plunge Beach Resort in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.<\/p>\n
When someone at the pool realized a young child was drowning and did not have a pulse, BSO firefighter Broderick Espinoza immediately started CPR on the boy.<\/p>\n
With assistance from Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Lt. Jesus Fuentes, 5-year-old Tyler Nelson regained a pulse and coughed up water.<\/p>\n
Minutes later, rescue crews from BSO and Pompano Beach arrived.<\/p>\n
Espinosa then carried Tyler to paramedics, who rushed him to a nearby hospital for treatment. <\/p>\n
He was checked out by staff and released after spending the night at hospital.<\/p>\n
Tyler is expected to make a full recovery and was able to celebrate his kindergarten graduation last Monday.<\/p>\n
BSO is now urging all parents to closely and constantly supervise young children near water, to keep small children within arms\u2019 reach, to avoid all distractions when watching your kids and to install child-proof fencing, locks and alarms to keep kids from entering pool areas.<\/p>\n
Two off-duty nurses also helped assist in Nelson\u2019s rescue.<\/p>\n
All four are being hailed heroes.<\/p>\n
