Jaberi believes while people are increasingly taking bigger risks when fishing, there's also a level of carelessness involved to the point where he has to remind other fishers to tie their shoes so they don't slip by accident.
Rescues more common than reported
Before he immigrated to Canada, Jaberi's brother died after falling into a river in his home country of Iran.
Shortly after, he decided to become a lifeguard.
"It doesn't matter which location, which beach, which river. Automatically, I look at people and always I'm ready to help."
On Sunday, however, Jaberi was too far away to help directly and was only able to shout advice from afar.
Jaberi say anglers fall in far more often than gets reported.
"I think, nine times I catch the people from this river, but no media, no photographer," he said. |
