OLNEY, Mont. — A stay-at-home mother came to the rescue Friday. Erika Larsen, a 38-year-old volunteer with Olney Fire Department, saved two boaters’ lives Friday morning.
Larsen, who has worked as an emergency medical technician and ambulance coordinator for one-and-a-half years, responded to Dog Lake at 10:20 a.m. Two victims had been in the water for about an hour clinging to life jackets and a boat after the boat they were riding in overturned.
