Jacksonville: Florida man Officer Reddish is credited with saving the life of a Florida boy who was drowning.

Officer Reddish happened to be in the area on another call, when he heard what was happening, according to Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. He was able to quickly get to the scene.

There was no time for Reddish to take off all his equipment, so he jumped in the water in full gear and swam to the center of the pond.

When the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office posted about Reddish’s heroism, it took Facebook by storm. The department did not provide his first name. With 11,000 reactions and more than 1,000 comments and shares, the post was filled with kind words and praise for the officer.

This is the kind of Florida man we need.
