(CNN) Addison Bethea was out hunting for scallops in the waters off Keaton Beach, Florida, on Thursday when a shark latched onto her flesh. She screamed for help, and her brother Rhett Willingham, a firefighter/EMT, heeded the call. "I heard her make a noise, almost like something scared her," he said. Then she came up from the water and I saw the shark and the blood and all that, then I swam over there and got (the shark) off." After fighting off the shark, Willingham pulled his sister into another boat, applied a tourniquet to her leg to stem the blood loss, and rushed her back to land as fast as possible, he said.
