News10NBC has learned a Rochester man has been rescued from a capsized ferry in the Philippines and we’re told he saved several lives.

Officials say 48-year-old Lawrence Drake, a retired firefighter and EMT, was able to revive a woman while he was in the water. We're told he also saved an eight-year-old boy and a pregnant woman. Officials say he was on the ferry with his wife who is from the Philippines. She survived as well.

Investigators say huge waves caused the ferry to capsize this morning. Thirty-six people were killed.
