Jasmine and Jacora ran as fast as they could outside. Jasmine said, “I immediately screamed, ‘They’re drowning.’ And then, me and my sister, we ran downstairs… We were falling down the stairs to get back here.”

Cold Season

To make matters even worse, it was a cold season at that time, which meant that a huge part of the water was partially frozen.

Jasmine and Jacora jumped into the icy water to save the drowning kids. The water was freezing, and one kid only had one finger above the surface. Jasmine said, “I’m numb. So, those kids, they’ve been in there longer than me. They’ve got to be numb.”

Doug Harms, West Des Moines EMS Division Chief, said, “I was amazed. Not many children would drop what they’re doing – or adults – and just run out and wade into (the) water up to their shoulders to pull two other kids out.”
