A UPS driver in Washington was hailed a hero after he saved the life of a seven-year-old who was drowning at an RV resort north of Soap Lake.

According to Kyle Foreman, a public information officer for the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, emergency officials were sent to the Smokian RV Resort after they received reports of the drowning child shortly after noon on July 20.


UPS driver Brian Walters happened to be in the area making deliveries when he found out about the incident.

Walters, who was a volunteer firefighter and former reserve police officer, was at the resort's office, which he said was a frequent stop for him "about five times a week."

He was about to leave when a man came in and mentioned something about a drowning and pointed to the pool area.

Walter's first-responder impulses kicked in. He ran out to the pool and administered CPR to the unresponsive girl who had been pulled out of the water as the panicked crowd looked on.

The effectiveness of Watler's life-saving tactic seemed to have worked as the young girl eventually started gasping for air.

Walters said nobody knew how long the girl had been underwater

"She was completely blue, unresponsive, not breathing, no pulse that I could find at the moment," he recalled.

"We probably did CPR for about a minute and then she started puking up or coughing up water."

Social media users were relieved to hear news of the UPS driver being at the right place at the right time.

In the video posted to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office's Facebook page, Foreman said the girl was “alert and crying” inside the ambulance before she was transported by helicopter to receive medical care.

“We want to say ‘thank you’ to the UPS driver for acting, performing CPR and saving this child’s life," said Foreman.

KREM 2 News reported that Walters finished his route a couple of hours late but managed to deliver all of the packages for the day after saving the life of the 7-year-old.

All in a day's work.
