Heroic Rescue: Marshall Security Officer Saves Child from Drowning in Umhlanga [4Ofz2Dg4OOP]
A young child is in critical condition after falling into a swimming pool at a holiday complex on Lagoon Drive in the Umhlanga area at approximately 17h40 this afternoon. A Marshall Security Officer, who was patrolling the promenade at the time, immediately recognised the urgency of the situation. Without hesitation, he jumped into the pool and pulled the unresponsive child to safety before initiating CPR while awaiting further medical support. Another security officer summoned nearby lifeguards, who assisted in resuscitating the child. Netcare 911 paramedics were contacted and arrived on scene within minutes, taking over medical treatment. After providing advanced life support, the child was stabilised and transported to hospital for further care. Thanks to the fast reaction and decisive action of our officer, the child is expected to make a full recovery. Marshall Security commends this officer for his quick thinking and courage — a true reflection of the dedication our teams demonstrate. Real security is about more than alarms and patrols; it is about people who genuinely care. This incident is a powerful reminder of why choosing a security company that goes above and beyond the call of duty can make all the difference when seconds matter!
