Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 30, 2018 Journalists Share Posted November 30, 2018 A horseman, who wishes to remain anonymous, was rescued from a burning vehicle on Thanksgiving Day by five members of Gulfstream Park’s first responders team. Supervisors Felix Ramos and Pele Cine, as well as responders Charles Johnson, James Stipes, and Xavier Figueroa will be honored after Saturday’s first race at approximately noon. “If not for these brave individuals, this person would not have survived,” said Gulfstream general manager Bill Badgett. “The members of our first responders risked their own lives to rescue another. We are all very proud of these individuals as well as all our first responders. They have been trained to react quickly and efficiently for any situation that might arise, and we thank them for their service.” The horseman went into diabetic shock. When the vehicle caught fire, the first responders smashed the windows and dragged the horseman free. Video can be seen here.
