STATter911.com has shown you a number of animal rescues from the ice in recent weeks (here, here & here). This time it’s a human who is being saved who became trapped after saving his own animal. The video, from Maryland Heights, Missouri, was posted by Aouchon gerard.
Margaret Gillerman, St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
A man who fell through the ice at Creve Coeur Lake while trying to retrieve his dog was saved by firefighters in ice suits Sunday afternoon, after a bystander called for help.
The man reached his dog and helped the dog back onto the ice, a bystander told firefighters. The man then fell through the ice and was submerged for a short time about 75 feet from shore.
Maryland Heights Fire Capt. Robert Daus Jr. said the man, who was in his late 60s and from the Chesterfield area, was hypothermic when rescuers reached him. He was treated in the ambulance and taken to an area hospital.
