Thanks to all the firefighters, police and ambulance/paramedics. Special thanks to the manager and staff of neighboring business Underwater Sports, who were on the scene immediately, helping my husband to provide first aid to (the) injured until others arrived and then took over.
We are so grateful, and thank God it wasn't worse and there was no loss of life.
