The body of a firefighter who went missing after trying to rescue girls from drowning was recovered Saturday in the Detroit River, authorities said.


Detroit Fire Department Sgt. Sivad Johnson, 48, was off-duty Friday night and with his 10-year-old daughter when he heard several girls screaming for help and dove into the water near the Detroit Yacht Club, The Detroit News reported.


"First responders are never off-duty," state police said. "He saw people that needed help and he didn’t hesitate to jump in the water to save them."
