Jacob Callanan was recognized at the Sept. 1 South Lake Tahoe City Council meeting for his actions in assisting a person who nearly drowned.

On July 25, Callanan was working at Ski Run Boat Company when he heard the sounds of a woman in distress in the water in Lake Tahoe. He swam to the person and brought her to shore. He started first aid measures before paramedics arrived.

“His quick actions definitely saved this person’s life,” Al Martinez, South Lake Tahoe Fire Department firefighter-paramedic, said.
