Around 4:06 p.m., the Coast Guard Air Station Humboldt Bay aircrew responded to an area near Big Lagoon County Park for reports of a child in the water. A helicopter and a 47-foot lifeboat were dispatched to the scene.
According to the Coast Guard, California State Parks Lifeguards responded first to remove the girl from immediate danger in the surf zone, positioning themselves in safer waters until rescue crews arrived.
The helicopter aircrew arrived at around 4:36 p.m. Video footage shows a rescue swimmer being deployed via freefall. According to the Coast Guard, California State Parks lifeguards transferred the child to the rescue swimmer, and the two were hoisted into the helicopter, where the aircrew began treating the child for hypothermia-related symptoms.
Officials said the helicopter aircrew transferred the child to awaiting emergency medical services personnel for further transport to a higher level of care.
