Brian Joseph was up watching the late night movie in the early hours of Saturday morning when he went outside for a smoke. It was around 1:45 a.m., when he heard a teenager running around.
There was only a thin sheet of ice on the bay, but the young man strayed onto it. After a few steps, when Joseph could here the ice breaking beneath, there was a crash.
"I was watching from the porch. The kid was really yelling and stuff," Joseph recalled Wednesday, as he reflected on the scene.
"I told my dad, and I said to myself 'I gotta do something.' I had to help in some way," he remembered.
Quickly, two members of the crisis team, Guy Paypompee and Georgina Tom, came running to assist. They shone a light on the young man, who was now submerged in icy water.
While the crisis team members tried to extend a lifeline, they weren't successful. Joseph could see the teen was succumbing to the cold, as he wasn't responding.
"I didn't even think twice. I got in the water and pulled him toward the shore," Joseph said.
