Little Girl Saves Sister From Drowning on Texas Vacation

  • Over Memorial Day weekend at Falcon International Reservoir, Texas Game Wardens saved a 5-year-old girl who had been carried away from the shore on an inflatable tube by strong winds reaching 30 miles per hour.
  • The rescue occurred because strong winds carried the child away from shore before the family flagged down help and wardens intervened promptly.
  • Wardens reached the child before the tube flipped over, reunited her with family, and provided education on flotation device safety amid increased holiday patrols.
  • Over the weekend, wardens completed 10,897 vessel checks, issued 1,374 citations, and filed 53 boating while intoxicated charges, the highest in five years.
  • The incident highlights TPWD’s focus on public safety as Memorial Day weekend showed the risks from weather, alcohol, and crowded waterways can rise quickly.
