This important letter-writing initiative aims to grant open-water lifeguards the benefits and recognition of Emergency First Responders. Despite being the first line of defense in life-threatening ocean rescues, most open-water lifeguards in the U.S. are not considered First Responders and are not entitled to the benefits available to police officers, firefighters, and EMTs.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the heroic lifeguard characters in the upcoming action-drama series <em><strong>Rescue: HI-Surf<\/strong><\/em>, premiering on FOX on Sunday, September 22, the network and USLA are supporting a campaign aimed at recognizing open-water lifeguards for what they clearly are: First Responders. The &#8220;<strong>LIFEGUARDS FIRST<\/strong>&#8221; campaign webpage allows citizens to submit a pre-populated letter to their representative urging them to support and co-sign House Concurrent Resolution 41, which officially recognizes open-water lifeguards as First Responders.<\/p><div id=\"morty-875572911\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>New pulse-pounding Hawaiian lifeguard drama <em><strong>Rescue: HI-Surf<\/strong><\/em> &#8212; from prolific, award-winning executive producer\/director John Wells (<em>Shameless, The West Wing, ER<\/em>) and executive producer\/writer Matt Kester (<em>Animal Kingdom, Outsiders<\/em>) &#8212; will make its series debut with a special premiere on Sunday, September 22, immediately after the FOX NFL doubleheader (8:00-9:00PM ET\/5:00-6:00PM PT, live to all time zones), followed by its time-period premiere on Monday, September 23 (9:00-10:00PM ET\/PT).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our new action-drama <em><strong>Rescue: HI-Surf<\/strong><\/em> captures the incredible skill and bravery of open-water lifeguards, and every episode is inspired by the heroic, real-life first responders who save lives every day under seemingly impossible conditions,&#8221; said Michael Thorn, President of FOX Television Network. &#8220;But through our work on this series, we were troubled to learn that despite their essential, courageous work, they are not considered Emergency First Responders in most places and don&#8217;t receive the recognition and benefits they deserve.
