Although the news can sometimes be wrong in its reporting Vacaville Fire didn’t pull the victim out of the water to provide rescue efforts.
On 8/10/2025 we were prvoding medical support for the Argyll Motocross at 9:45 am we were summons to the pond area for a rider that according to an assistant at the location “hit hard” upon our arrival wich took about a minute we noticed bystanders in the pond trying to get the unconsious/unresponsive rider out of the water the victim was found in the reeds in the water. Ben imeadiatly grabbed our medical bag and i grabbed the backboard I then gave my phone to the race director to have her activate 911 as she was communicating with EMS we slid the backboard under the patient and removed him on the backboard from the pond. Once on the bank it was deturmined that the patient was in cardiac arrest with multiple trauma rescue efforts were initiated by myself, Ben (my partner) 2 trauma nurses and 1 nurse praciciner (bystanders) from the event. When the Ambualnce and Fire Department arrived we assisted them in providing rescue care to the victim. Though we all tried our best to revive him it was unsuccessful. The victim succumbed to his injuries Our hearts goes out to the victims family.
