00:00:03.100 --> 00:00:05.120
>> I was on duty that day,

00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:08.040
and the R, C and P
asked for assistance.

00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:10.300
They were looking
for a young girl

00:00:10.300 --> 00:00:12.000
that was missing in the lake.

00:00:14.100 --> 00:00:16.100
Unfortunately,
the girl did not survive.

00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:19.820
I learned that she was
12 years old,

00:00:19.820 --> 00:00:22.000
and I have a son
that's the same age.

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.030
So I kind of started
thinking about it.

00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:27.220
And later I found out
about these lifejacket stations

00:00:27.220 --> 00:00:30.040
that they have in certain lakes
and swimming areas,

00:00:30.790 --> 00:00:32.730
brought it to the Explorers
to see if they were interested

00:00:32.730 --> 00:00:34.829
in doing that as a project,
and they were.

00:00:43.570 --> 00:00:46.100
>> I'm Teresa Fast.
I'm the Patrol Explorer

00:00:46.100 --> 00:00:51.230
in charge for the Oroville
Explorer post, 0023.

00:00:51.970 --> 00:00:54.370
Our Border Patrol Explorer post
is a program

00:00:54.370 --> 00:00:56.560
for youth learning
about law enforcement.

00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.750
And we do a lot of community
service for our community here.

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:04.300
So the project is a lifejacket
station for people

00:01:04.300 --> 00:01:07.270
to borrow a lifejacket
to stay safe in the waters.

00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:11.180
The idea came from our advisor,

00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:12.930
who was on a search
and rescue call,

00:01:12.930 --> 00:01:15.680
and saw Naziha Mohammed
pulled out of the water.

00:01:18.380 --> 00:01:20.600
As a post,
we fundraised about $400

00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.200
to build the lifejacket station,

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:27.690
and had a couple other community
businesses help us out.

00:01:27.690 --> 00:01:28.940
So our post came together

00:01:28.940 --> 00:01:32.970
and made the plans out
and got the donations,

00:01:32.970 --> 00:01:34.940
and built
the lifejacket stations.

00:01:45.910 --> 00:01:49.310
>> And I just really hope
that something good

00:01:49.310 --> 00:01:51.960
can come out of this tragedy,
which is why we did it.
