San Bernardino police responded to a disturbance call and ended up saving a mother and her children from being washed away in a water rescue.
"As I am debriefing them we notice the mother and her two children fall into the water and start washing away," Rodriguez said.
They were first ankle deep then knee deep and the water was moving fast enough to carry away a mother and her two children ages six to 14. "The water level was rising and so the next thing we knew they were being taken away by the water," Mason said."So they held on to me as I tried to walk the family back to the other side of the road," Tran said."Never once in the academy did we train for a swift water rescue," Tran said.
A course that perhaps that now be added. For those who's job it is to protect and serve including when the waters fast and rising.
