TREASURE ISLAND, Fla — A person was taken to the hospital after being pulled from the water on Treasure Island Beach.

The City of Treasure Island said they received a 911 call around 2:30 p.m. for a report of a possible drowning on the beach near the 120th Avenue beach access.

When emergency rescue crews arrived, they found a person who had been pulled from the water, who was not breathing, and bystanders were performing CPR.

Treasure Island said life-saving measures were done on the beach before the person was taken to Palms Pasadena Hospital.

The person's condition is not currently known.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
