February 14, 2021
A mom and her 2-year-old daughter were out looking at geese on a frozen river when the ice gave way, sending the mom and her baby plunging into the freezing Passaic River in New Jersey. A panicked witness called 911 saying there was a mother and child in the middle of the river, and Michael Foligno, a local chief of police, responded to the call. The challenge was figuring out how to reach the pair. A man at a nearby gas station had a plastic kayak, and the chief used it to rescue the pair.
