RedactedNarrative: Boater 1 was fishing from Vessel 1 (Inflatable fishing tube) on Topaz Lake approximately 100+ yards west of the Rock Point at Douglas County Camp Ground and Boat Ramp.  
  
  Witness 1 and Witness 2 were fishing approximately 40 yards south of Boater 1.  Witness 1 looked north to see Vessel 1 had capsized and Boater 1 was under water and appeared to be in distress. Witness 1 told Witness 2.  Both Witnesses imediately rowed their inflatable fishing tubes to Boater 1.  Upon arrival Witness 2 grabbed Boater 1 by the hair and lifted Boater 1's head above water.  Witness 1 waved two ski boats down.  The ski boat assisted with escorting Boater 1, Witness 1 and Witness 2 to the beach at the Douglas County Camp Ground. 
  
  Witness 2 told me when he was able to get Boater 1's head above water, he heard Boater 1 gurgling water and his lips were blue. 
  
  Boater 1 was treated at the scene by East Fork Fire Paramedis and transported to Carson Valley Medical Center for advance medical treatment.
  
  While on scene, I took digital photos of Vessel 1 and related equipment (fishing tube, waders, boots, and PFD).  The photos were later uploaded into the AXOn Cloud as evidence.  These items were later secured inside Boater 1's vehicle.  Boater 1's vehicle was secured on scene to await pick up by family members. 
  
  Before leaving the scene, I receiving the attched statement form from Witness 2.
  
  I met with Boater 1 inside the Emegency Center at Carson Valley Medical Center.  Boater 1 told me he was fishing off the rock area.  He dropped his cigarettes into the lake and when he reached out in front of Vessel 1 for them, Vessel 1 flipped over.  Boater 1 said he was unable to get out of Vessel 1. 
  
  Boater 1 told me he did  not have his PDF on at the time of the incident.
  
  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
  
  Based on the fact Witness 1 was being observant of other vessels in the area, coupled with the fact he immediately realized Boater 1 was in distress, his actions along with the quick reactions of Witness 2 saved the life of Boater 1.
