Oh Deer!

Rough surf and sharks in the area didn't stop Flagler Beach lifeguards from saving a deer from the ocean. Senior lifeguard Chase Hunter spotted a deer struggling in the ocean and set out to save it.

Hunter hoisted the deer onto his rescue board and with the assist of another lifeguard, Leo Peters, helping to push the two to shore. Flagler Beach Fire Rescue joined in to helped get the deer across the busy A1A and back toward the nearby woods.

Flagler Beach Fire Rescue Chief Stephen Cox said in his 15 years on the job, that was a first.
