emptychair I wonder why the boat overturned? If the children were under the water, maybe they were not wearing life-jackets. The firefighter did very well to rescue the children, well done indeed.

emptychair It is hard to rescue someone not cooperating with the rescuers, but she might have been distressed, and disorientated, so didn't respond to their call to grab the rope bags. It was good she was rescued in the end, and is likely will recover.

emptychair If the fire started in the garage, perhaps the residents were not yet aware of it, as they were still in their house. The astute action of the teens, saved them from a larger burn to their house, and might just have saved their lives too.
