One boater a 22-year-old woman from New Jersey, Leah Nesha bas Baila Malka, apparently became stranded on a row boat with three other people.
20-year-old Devin Corbit, a Morningside Park worker, went out in his row boat to assist the stranded people.
A lightning strike knocked the two into the water.
They were rescued by lifeguards and rushed by Hatzolah and Mobile-Medic to Catskill Regional Medical Center post cardiac arrest but conscious. But both are said to be in extremely critical condition.
The pair to be transferred to Westchester Medical Center.
Great job by Hatzloah for bringing back both patients
I have just been listening on my scanners to the rescue operations. I had heard cardiac arrest and then I heard electrocution and then I heard two patients, so now that you have mentioned lightning I understand.
I am glad the patients are still alive, and I hope they are able to be saved.
Wow! What a dispatcher! It takes quite professional skills to dispatch two cardiac arrests in the mountains while dispatching a fire in BP with reports of people trapped.
GO ES85 GO!
Refuah Shleima to both of them,

Car 1 came good to use!!
These two patients were brought out of cardiac arrest using a piece of equipment called a defibulator.
The human heart has something called a SA Node that gives off an electrical impulse which causes the heart to beat. When the rhythm is interrupted, either by a block in the heart, or, as in this case, by an outside electrical impulse, the heart goes into an un sustainable rhythm called V-Fib.
The way to reset the hearts rhythm is by giving it a controlled shock using a defibulator.
This equipment is expensive and unfortunately, not all Hatzalah members are equipped with this life saving device.
You can change that.
