Man dies after being pulled from water at Ocean Beach: SFFD

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — The San Francisco Fire Department said a man has died after being pulled from the water at Ocean Beach on Thursday afternoon.

The incident occurred at the location of Ocean Beach at Lawton Street. SFFD said “the fully clothed man entered the surf line to rescue a dog, and for an unknown reason, collapsed.”

SFFD said two women jumped into the surf line and were able to rescue the man then call 911.

San Francisco Fire said crews arrived in just minutes and CPR was performed on the man before he was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition. Despite life-saving measures, the victim succumbed to his injuries.

The dog was able to exit the water on its own and is expected to be okay, confirmed SFFD.

SFFD had sent an alert at 2:19 p.m. advising residents to avoid the area while the rescue was underway. The scene was cleared an hour later.

In a social media post, San Francisco Fire Department wrote “This is an unfortunate reminder not to enter the water for humans or pets but rather, to call 911.”
