Winston-Salem resident Antonio Burns helped rescue two girls at Kure Beach
Antonio Burns, a Winston-Salem photographer and videographer, was getting out of the water April 18 at Kure Beach when a nearby friend told him that he saw two girls struggling offshore.
âStop playing,â Burns said to his friend, but then he looked and also realized that the girls were in distress.
