Off-Duty Fairhaven firefighter responds to scream for 911 to find drowned child

“On Saturday career firefighter Jesse Lacerda heard a panic yell for someone to call 911 while he was out in his back yard.

Jesse’s quick thinking to hop over his backyard fence lead him to take over CPR on a young child who had drowned. FF Lacerda was able to revive the child with his actions.

Another example of how our members are always on duty for the community. Thank you to group 4’s FF Lacerda.”-Fairhaven Firefighters Association, Local 1555.
