“Look at the sky, I’ll save you. Let’s live together”... Firefighter dives into reservoir while on a date on his day off [Thank You, Public Servants] [Video]

[Financial News] A firefighter who was out with his wife on his day off spotted a man who had fallen into a reservoir, jumped into the water and rescued him.
According to Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) on the 11th, firefighter Yoon Tae-jeong, a rescue worker with Seoul Jungnang Fire Station, rescued a man identified as A who had fallen into a reservoir near a cafe on a walking trail in Baekseok-eup, Yangju, Gyeonggi Province, at around 2:20 p.m. on the 10th.
Strong winds were whipping up rough waves on the reservoir at the time. Residents called 119, but it was reportedly not long before the rescue team arrived.
As soon as firefighter Yoon spotted what was happening, he jumped into the reservoir and swam toward A, who was floating in the middle. He was reportedly such a skilled swimmer that he had worked as a swimming instructor.
The video shows firefighter Yoon repeatedly calling out to A as he approaches him: “Look at the sky, sir, look at the sky. I’ll save you—I will. Let’s live together.” He also calls out, “Almost there. Just wait a little, sir.”
Firefighter Yoon’s wife, who was also at the scene, watched and asked people nearby, “Please ask them to come quickly,” then shouted to her husband, “Be careful.”
A man equipped with rescue gear then swam over with a life jacket and joined them. The two put the life jacket on A and brought him to shore together.
A reportedly entered the water on his own. Immediately after being rescued, he was taken to a hospital, where he is receiving treatment.
