Coast Guard rescues toddler who toppled into lake at Navy Pier21-Jul-16 – A two-year-old girl who fell off a boat near Navy Pier was rescued Thursday afternoon by a United States Coast Guard crew from Wilmette Harbor. The girl, who was wearing a life jacket, was retrived from the lake before the Coast Guard vessel arrived but she was unresponsive. Coast Guard crew member Amanda Wolf boarded the other boat, performed CPR on the girl, and resuscitated her as the vessel sped to Navy Pier. “Because of her training and fast action, Wolf was able to resuscitate the child and had her fully responsive by the time the vessel made it back to Navy Pier,” said the Coast Guard. Emergency medical technicians with Chicago Fire Department took over once the boat arrived. The child, whose name was not released, was taken to a nearby hospital for observation. |
