These are witnesses who alerted the emergency services around 11 am this Monday morning. They reported seeing “a stunted man” in the waters of Kir Lake while he was swimming. The SDIS 21 immediately sent two specialized divers on site to find the unfortunate man, but it was finally two other firefighters on a surveillance mission on “Dijon Plage” who found him when they had gone there with a boat. .
Still unclear circumstances
According to the findings of the rescuers, the man was the victim of discomfort, but at present, its cause is not specified. Is it a heart attack or a hydrocution? The answer will surely come from the Dijon University Hospital where the man was evacuated in serious condition.
SDIS 21 advice for swimmers
The strong heat experienced by the Côte-d’Or prompts many people to go and cool off in the waters of lakes, rivers and other swimming pools, but be careful not to do anything, reminds the Fire and Rescue Service of the Côte-d’Or on its Facebook page. You must take your physical form into account before venturing too far into the water, prefer supervised swimming areas, gradually enter the water and constantly supervise children. Finally, and this is undoubtedly, the first advice to remember even if it is obvious, you must learn to swim, whatever your age.
