Blow
your whistle on this one: A Hallandale Beach, Fla., lifeguard has been
fired for rushing to rescue a drowning man. Apparently the company that
hired him to help patrol the beach objected to the fact that he left his
appointed zone to participate in the rescue. "We have liability issues
and can't go out of the protected area," his supervisor told the Sun Sentinel
newspaper. "What he did was his own decision. He knew the company
rules." Tomas Lopez, 21, said he doesn't regret rushing to save the
struggling man, even if it cost him his job. "Someone needed my help. I
wasn't going to say no," he said. A hero in red swim trunks, we say.
