WELL, THIS ONE SAYS IT ALL…THE “2-HATS BROOM BOYS” BECAME ….DEPUTY CHIEF “JIM MCINTEE”…OOPS!…
BC- A resident speaking up recently on the subject of “Broom Boys” McIntee/Silverstone said…”We swept them in and we can sweep them away!”…OUCH!…
Excerpts from today’s Herald…
‘The pair spent Sunday afternoon in the surf off Lauderdale-by-the-Sea when, suddenly, they were caught in a rip current, said Deputy Chief Jim McIntee of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea’s volunteer fire department.
Firefighters already were in the area, in the 4300 block of Ocean Drive, because of a previous call for help shortly before 1 p.m.
As McIntee helped the first person to an ambulance, he turned to his right, saw the couple and then, ”the rip tide grabs both of them and away they go,” McIntee said.
Firefighters rushed back into the water. One grabbed Spencer and carried him to shore, McIntee said, where he was met by more firefighters. Meanwhile, another firefighter grabbed Kristensen, who also was carried back to land with the help of firefighters.
”It’s a blessing we were there,” McIntee said.’
