PFLUGERVILLE, Texas — Training drills for Travis County Emergency Services turned into a real emergency Wednesday afternoon when they saved a teenager from drowning at Lake Pflugerville.
Members of Emergency Services District No. 2 were participating in annual training on drowning-related EMS emergencies when they heard a group of people yelling for help. Firefighters, EMTs and paramedics from ESD 2 helped pull an unconscious teenager from the lake.
The teenager did not have a pulse, so ESD 2 began CPR. The responders managed to get a pulse, and an ambulance then took the teenager to a hospital.
A release said that while traveling via ambulance, "multiple additional EMS interventions took place." The release also said that upon reaching the hospital, the teenager was speaking normally with ESD 2 members.
