Ablut a month ago..i stepped outside on my front porch to smoke a ciggarette..i could very faintly hear a man screaming.."oh god, help me" i called nine one one..two county police officers responded..we walked across the dirt road closer to the river..They and I listened..they couldnt hear it.i could..they got smart and told me it was an owl..they left..i waited about fifteen minutes..torn...i called nine one one again..and told the lady that answered that i know what i hear..send someone out ..she told me i would be charged for every response..i told her to charge the **** out of me..i know what i hear..



so ................i ended up with several county officers..a firetruck..paramedics..and the state police dogs..and game and fish responded on fourhweelers and a boat...two hours later..they find the man..he had flipped his fourwheeler over on a trail..he ended up laying half submerged in the river with the fourwheeler on top of him..and no way out...we have aligators in our river..



i got an apology from the first two officers that argued with me the first time..over it being an owl.They said they couldnt believe i could here him from so far away..when they couldnt.and a man's life was saved..he was boated out to the highway and taken by ambulance to the hospital..



I am glad i went with my guts..and not been backed down by the police officers the first time..but when i made that second call i was kinda scared..

Have the courage of your convictions - I'm proud of you Guppy.

Wow, good for you, Guppy! You saved that man's life!

thanks guys..:-6

I hope that man realizes what a gift you gave him. Life. :-6

hats off guppy!

You are a hero!



You saved that man's life, hope he appreciated it!

I am so very proud of you.

he owes you his life..

:)

glad you didn't back down.

The "courage of your convictions" is a great compliment. You deserved it,

guppy. I would be one grateful man for someone like you to be around during that time of crisis.

Charged for 911 calls ?

That doesnt seem like a good policy.

You should send them a bill for something.

That's so amazing, guppy!

You're a true hero. :-6

Way to go guppy! And way to stick to your guns...there are many people that would have given up after that first police visit. You're a hero! :-6

Don't crash! Then it won't matter if Guppy's a long way away..............







Well done Guppy!

Well done, Guppy. I am proud to know you.



I don't suppose that guy knows any of this yet. I reckon he'll be very grateful to you when he finds out what you did.

:-6

You should be very proud of yourself Guppy, I'm sure the man you saved and his family will be eternally grateful.....

And they say "fish" have no feelings! Well, your feelings told you the right thing to do, expecially when challenged, well done!!!

awesome story, that guy is so lucky you were there! :-4

wow..:-6

Well done Guppy! A tip of the hat to ya.

You go girl!:)

Well done Gupps, That dude better buy you at least two cartons of ciggies, no telling how many people you could save with a semi truck full of ciggies. Oh wait, you were smoking cig's right? I used to hear voices whn I smoked weed but I didn't want to call the police for fear of getting arrested.

He doesnt know about me..the police asked me if they could tell him..i said "no" ..the important thing to me is that i remember or learned out of this..to stand up for what i believe in..once, when i was nineteen, i was in a serious car wreck..a man stopped and pulled me out of the wreckage..called nine one one..and left after the ambulance loaded me up..but not before telling me after i thanked him over and over..."dont thank me", he didnt do it for the thanks or the glory, He told me he was a paramedic out of south carolina on his way home from a vacation in florida..because of him..and his atittude.i have always tried to give it back..where i can.



My neighbors and my family have said i am way to humble but i understood what the paramedic was saying along time ago..if you can make the world a better place..just for even one..thats the best feeling in the world..and to do it for no other reason than..because i "can":-6

I don't think anyone does what you did for the thanks, not unless they've got some kinda over-exploded ego.

But most people who have been helped out like this have a genuine need to be able to say thanks in the very least. It's human nature.
