Off-duty firefighter saves children trapped under water

Off-duty firefighter Jason Horne rescued three children who were trapped under a capsized boat on Alvarado Park Lake in Texas during a Fourth of July celebration. Hearing screams from a nearby pontoon, Horne dove into the water and retrieved two children, performing CPR on one who was not breathing. A third child was later pulled from the boat by others and also received CPR. All three children survived and are recovering. The incident involved a 16-foot fishing boat carrying nine people, including six children and three adults, though the cause of the capsizing remains under investigation. The children's families have not been publicly identified.
