First responders explain importance of water safety ahead of Memorial Day weekend in Utah
Talem Franco remembers not being able to save his brother. He urges others to remember to be safe so that no one else has to experience what he did. Kam Kohler, a commander at Wasatch County Search and Rescue, said the best way to practice safety first is to wear a flotation device or life jacket any time you are on the water.
"Our kids have been traumatized over the last two years ... but I think it's important that we let kids know that we love them," Chris Herrod said. Rep. John Curtis added that he thinks "it's very, very important that we look at these issues with their many, many layers, and not fool ourselves that there is some quick answer that we could do."
