Thanks to the teamwork of deputies with the Martin County Sheriff's Office (MCSO), two bystanders, and a Sea Tow captain they saved a man who was in a wheelchair who fell into the water at Mariner Cay in Florida when the ramp connecting a ramp to his boat fell off. Two bystanders held the wheelchair steady while keeping the man's face above the water when MCSO Marine Unit deputy Mark Appler and Sea Tow captain arrived to stabilize the chair Deputy Appler used a rope to hold the wheelchair in place while MCSO deputies assisted Deputy Appler when the decision was made by Deputy Appler to disconnect the wheelchair and using a life preserver and swim the wheelchair man to the shore safely. The wheelchair bound man received medical attention where the wheelchair bound man only suffered minor injuries. Teamwork paid off in this incident in Martin County Florida. It is a good deal.
