Today The Blaze<\/a>\u00a0posted a story about a young Florida<\/a> lifeguard<\/a>, Tommy Lopez, who saved someone’s life on Monday and was fired for his efforts. Mr. Lopez rescued a person drowning<\/a> on a part of the beach<\/a> he was not hired to patrol. He was fired.<\/p>\n

There is, however, an update to the story. It states:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis event caught me by surprise just as much as it did everyone else,\u201d Ellis said<\/a>\u00a0(Jeff Ellis, head of the lifeguard company involved). \u201cWe\u2019re reviewing everything that has occurred, and we will either concur with that or we will override what happened based on what we find out.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf he left his chair and we had a beach full of people and they were left unprotected, that would be one thing,\u201d he added. \u201cIf he left his beach and another guard immediately took over and covered so that the beach was protected, that would be an entirely different thing.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
