On Tuesday, June 30, 2026, paramedics from South Metro Fire Rescue Station 13 rescued a swimmer at Eaglewatch Lake, in Littleton after he became fatigued attempting to swim across the lake. When paramedics arrived, they found the swimmer approximately 150 to 200 yards from shore, struggling to stay afloat and beginning to slip beneath the surface. With no time to wait, one paramedic entered the water wearing a personal flotation device (PFD) and secured to a rescue rope while his partner remained on shore. With the help of South Suburban Park Rangers and Littleton Police, they safely brought the swimmer back to land, where he was evaluated by paramedics and transported to a local hospital. According to witnesses, the swimmer had been treading water for approximately 20 minutes before crews arrived. Water Safety Reminder: Even strong swimmers can become exhausted in open water. Always wear a life jacket, know your limits, and never attempt to swim long distances across lakes or reservoirs without proper safety precautions. A life jacket can save your life.

But when playtime took a turn for the worst, 18 SMFR Personnel, including the full technical rescue team, and Arapahoe County Animal Control responded. It no longer mattered that Mom and Dad lost the game because Tank was at risk of losing his life.

Four members of the SMFR Wildland Team are deploying to California as part of a strike team to aid in the devastating wildfires on the West Coast. The team left on a Type 3 Brush Engine this evening. Once they arrive, they’ll be given their assignment. “This is why we sign up to be on the Wildland Team, to go out and deploy and hopefully make a difference out there,” said Firefighter Hildebrandt. #smfr #southmetrofirerescue
