Lighthouse Point honors resident who helped save person at pet‑grooming incident
Summary
The commission recognized resident Kenny Hainsley for breaking a car window and assisting a person and a dog after a suspected carbon‑monoxide exposure at a pet grooming operation; the mayor announced a plaque would be presented.
The commission on Aug. 26 publicly recognized Kenny Hainsley for life‑saving actions during a recent carbon‑monoxide incident at a pet grooming business.
The mayor said Hainsley “sprang into action helping remove the dog, but also the person, the pet groomer, out of the vehicle,” describing how Hainsley assisted EMS, put the person into a recovery position and expedited care. The mayor told the commission the person remains alive and that a plaque will be presented to Hainsley.
Hainsley thanked the commission briefly. Commissioners and attendees applauded and encouraged a photograph and a small presentation when the plaque is ready.
Why it matters: The recognition highlights a neighborhood safety incident that involved quick action from a resident and first responders and gives the commission an opportunity to commend community responders.
